By the same token they wouldn't be forced to learn a new config  
setting either, so this consideration is irrelevant in this case.

In that case should I submit a patch to move RESTful routing into a  
plugin - after all that's complex area for newbies and there's load  
of stuff to maintain (only joking). The point I'm trying to make is  
that deciding on whether to add a feature should be balance between  
maintainability and usefulness - I personally think the usefulness  
exceeds the likely maintenance overhead.

To me that would make Rails dogmatic rather than just opinionated  
software. If I can generate images with Rails why would should it  
only allow me to product invalid HTML (as that's what XHTML served as  
text/html is).
