Why usedirs?
------------
There are several advantages to `usedirs`, including simpler URLs, URLs that
aren't dependent on the underlying implementation (`.html`), and being able to
use URLs as tags as described in the [rel-tag
microformat](http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag).
The main disadvantage is that it is harder to browse using `file://` URIs,
since `file:///dir/` doesn't automatically translate to `dir/index.html`. This
is something one could fix in the browser though.
