I think you're missing a very important use-case. I created a Wicket
webapp at work, what happens on a weekly basis is that someone sees
something he wants to discuss so he copy/pastes the URL from his browser
into an email. Non-nice URLs shouldn't even be visible for people to
mistakenly export.

        Sometimes someone just wants to give someone else a link to my webapp
(not expecting it to display anything in particular) and it just so
happens their browser has it open with a non-nice URL. Again, they will
copy/paste that and the receiver will get an ugly URL and Page Expired.
