If a website is coded well you should not be able to tell what
technology was used to create it. For example, if my uri is:
   http://www.somesite.com/price_list.php
and I later move to a content management system coded in Java, then
I'm going to have to jump through some very odd hoops to get that URI
to continue to work.

If my address was instead
   http://www.somesite.com/price_list/
then I've decoupled my URIs from my backend technology.

The second site I linked to is not developed in PHP. My point was to
respond to the question about who uses a framework.
