You beat me to it! Just to add, the RWS book suggests using commas for
ordered pairs in the URI design section, which makes sense to me.
Really?? That's weird. Wrong even?
I mean, if you can (or should) use commas, we'd have urls like this:
/cars,ford,truck,f-series,f150,2007
instead of
/cars/ford/truck/f-series/f150/2007
I like the second (with slashes) because it's somewhat a metaphor for
traditional folders on a hard drive. Which is why it's also congruent
with a web server serving a static folder hierarchy.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter what your delimiter is. I just think
slashes seem more intuitive for this type of "ordered" or "hierarchical"
usage.
