Many organizations need human read-/understandable urls. Having the uuid
in the path seems very ugly. How about:
http://host.com/pub/area/myDocu_en.html?lenya.module=permalink&id=123123-asdfa-3234

for the record, i don't think permalink urls have to be nice. they have to be *systematic*, unambigious and concise. more importantly, they should not require human interaction.

the scheme you are suggesting introduces redundancy or worse yet, ambiguity, because in order to work, the file name would have to be disregarded and only the UUID used. which becomes extra funny once people figure they can use http://customer.com/HOT_XXX_MOVIEZ.html?permalink=fooo to link to your company's yearly revenue report. not nice at all.
