Hmm... good point.  The default URL traversable does use the Object 
traversable to do its job.

You're right, as above.

I didn't mean that.

I meant IURLSegmentTraverser for the "where do I get to from this object 
given this name", and IURLTraverser for "I have this path, where do I 
get to" for URLs.

Then IObjectSegmentTraverser and IObjectTraverser for the equivalent 
object graph things.
