it did.  you just didnt understand it yet -

in wicket 1.x you can mount a page to 

/de
/en
and not having the IndexedPar...egy putting the /de everytime in front - but
you were responsible for that by having the 0 param beeing set to e.g: de .
A nice URL paradigm begins by creating it on paper and by putting out
everything you dont want - and even if you prefer component or not, its a
missioncritical thing nowadays for public websites (security, spiders etc.)

e.g: having only 1 (!) active mount in wicket 2.0 like now destroys this
completely, what in wicket 1.x worked

imagine you have a big business site, and the paradigm tells you to order
the language by var URL paradigms, whereas /en and /de are new and reworked
by using wicket, while /cn and /ar are old ones managed by other systems...
or a shop that has to show prices for various countries in various languages
you need to put it anywhere to, when the page should be bookmarkable and
nice

so we have 2 paradigms:

- /page/lang/params
- /lang/params

wich one is nicer ? the second, as it allows you to be as flexible as you
want and this was what i like in wicket 1.x - you were free to do what you
want, not forced to develop your own thing if you need it...

in wicket 1.x you can just use the 
mount("/de/", new IndexedParamUrlCodingStrategy("",Katalog.class));
telling him he has pages mounted unter "/de/" and they should use a
IndexedParam without any special thing to it, while in wicket 2 this has
been stripped and now forces us to have a CodingStrategy that relies on
other things

you also cant then easily upgrade older URLCodingStrategies as mount no
longer can be used to mount a path and a strategy but only the strategy
alone...

i understand most changes in wicket2, as they have more pros then cons, but
this one has only cons as i dont see any advancement but lost
base-functionality
