This suggestion is good until you need to change the whole set of URLs. Of course in a single web site deployment you seldom want to change URLs (and it is often a bad idea), but I changed URL scheme sometimes when I need to deploy my application in another place and integrating with other system. (e.g. Changing from path routing to subdomain). I would made crazy if I need to modify every controller to change the URL scheme.

I think the routing abstraction is necessary and useful in larger application. Isn't it a very simple and clever syntax for the routing configuration is good enough?
