Just out of curiosity, does anyone know when this was changed? It used to be 0 for interface static routes, right? However, this is pretty irrelevant as far the original question is concerned. To answer the original question, the difference between static routes pointing to IP addresses and interfaces is that you get screwed if you point to a broadcast interface without an IP address. It's due to ARP; think about it, try it out, or search in the Groupstudy archives to find out what exactly happens. So the recommended solution (at least for broadcast interfaces) is to configure both IP address and interface name. For static routes pointing to p2p interfaces, I don't think you need to configure IP address (as someone else suggested, you will spare some work if a renumbering ever happens).
