But again, why would I ever want a trailing ".jpg" here?  If there is a 
trailing ".jpg" (or ".gif", for the matter), wouldn't I *always* want it 
statically served?  And in that case, why would I want the leading "@"?

Can you think of a counter-example where this idea is wrong?

And if not, should we modify Seaside to behave that way?  Or should I 
handle it at the Comanche/Seaside interface (i.e., IAKom) (i.e., hack 
out the seaside portion of the URL when it sees the trailing ".jpg" or 
".gif" so that the URL never gets dispatched to Seaside)?

What do you think?
