JIRA URL space not bookmark-friendly

I have a.. thing about URI spaces. They ought to be clean, user-hackable, bookmarkable, extension-free, ReST-friendly. JIRA's URLs are none of the these. It is not possible to bookmark "the issue tracker for project X" without embedding some horribly brittle project ID:

http://jira.atlassian.com/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10470

Instead, we could have:

http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/confluence

And linking to individual bugs; instead of:

http://jira.atlassian.com/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=JRA-563

Why couldn't we just have:

http://jira.atlassian.com/JRA-563

or:

http://jira.atlassian.com/jira/563

For more indoctrination along these lines, see:
