There's a point I think, at the very least it gives unifying points  
to several types of dispatchers. This means it could be rather easy  
to create a more general version of Luke's Selector that has  
pluggable URL lookup schemes since there's a consistent place to look  
for the information.

+1 on the whole proposal, I look forward to adding it to Routes.
