Did Julian say that? The one thing that I saw him say was "Also keep in mind 
that if you use "/" for a different purpose than hierarchy, surprising things 
will happen when relative references are resolved. It's good to avoid them in 
this case."

I don't see how the digest URL you propose has either "relative references" nor 
"resolved". More detail in your next draft would be valuable.
