I too was briefly confused, but then decided that It Just Seemed to  
Work And Play Nicely With Everything Else so I determined to ignore  
the advice and keep on doing what I was doing before.

I guess the problem is that if you want to change the uri that  
triggers an action, you're a bit screwed with : Local because it may  
require changing calls in your code i.e. $c->forward('foo');

Someone needs to write up a "what kind of dispatch to use when"  
guide.  Advent calendar volunteers anyone, we still have a few slots.
