Interestingly, because of various issues, in my own web pages, I've
started to rely less on index.html and instead having a specific page
within a directory. I then make index.html auto-redirect to the correct
page. One thing this means is that when people bookmark my pages, they
won't be bookmarking a directory (of course they can create their own
link to the directory, but would likely be encouraged to change it after
they got tired of seeing the re-direct every time).
