Maybe someone can fill me in or point me to relevant documents. Why is a 
"flat" URL namespace so much better for search engines than a 
hierarchical? From an algorithmic point of view I don't seem to see the 
difference except that a hierarchical space gives you the benefit of a 
context, which certainly some spiders (should) use.
