So then use technologies which allows you to do that.

ala... mod_rewrite

I just don't see how this is Turbine's responsibility, especially given that
the bulk of the url is a result of the way that the servlet api is defined.

http://www.foo.com/CONTEXT/servlet/MAPPING/template/Foo.vm
                   [ servlet api defined ][ turbine       ]

So as you can see, the only thing that is really required by Turbine is to
have "template/Foo.vm". I think that portion of the url is easy to read and
easy to pronounce aloud ("template slash Foo.vm").

You can also write the URL like this:

http://www.foo.com/CONTEXT/servlet/MAPPING?template=Foo.vm
                   [ servlet api defined ][ turbine       ]

If you use mod_rewrite, you can easily shorten it to this:

http://www.foo.com/t/Foo.vm

You can't shorten it any more than that and keep static content on the
server because you don't want to have to serve static content through
Turbine.
