Again not that it matters in the slightest but...
The above is a security breach generally known as "forceful browsing."

In regards "human readable URLs" it has been something of a sore point
for WO developers. I think WebObjects was even publicly railed against
for its URL generation strategy.
My position is that there are two types of URLs: the human friendly
kind and the application friendly kind. What irks me is when people
say all URLs must be "bookmarkable." The poor thinking can be
illustrated thusly:
1) I am in the middle of a 3 page registration process; i.e. I'm on the
second page.
2) I bookmark it and don't return for 3 weeks.
3) Should it work?
Sure, make the pages that a user will actually want to remember have
nice URLs. But imposing that dictat on an entire site with dynamic
ability doesn't make a lot of sense.
