No, e.g. I use this rule in my .htaccess on my blog:

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*\.html$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html
Which means you can access:

http://tycho.ws/music or http://tycho.ws/music.html

I went to http://www.canonical.com/index.html and there was a 404.

Surely there should be something there...

There's also no robots.txt... Odd for a static site don't you think?

I suppose it isn't obvious from the rule I gave, but it doesn't necessarily have to even be web accessible. Why does it matter so much anyway?
