hmm, that is the request, but we are talking about internal mappings. I
agree that it would need to be http://foo.bar.com/hello.html but the
underlying internal mapping would request /hello.xml.

Two different pairs of shoes. ;)

means that I would need to call them:
/hello/world-png
/hello/world-pdf
...

That is the reason why I think 1) is better then 2). Here we have unique
ids.

Well not 100% true, you could store pdf and html that are not coming
from lenya and should not edit with lenya. Like pdf and html assets that
are not based on a xml. Look at the odt module.
