How I wish they were right about .html.,, I wish we had something else by now. Personally I'm a fan of including a post ID in the URL, e.g. /category/123/post-name. Because if you want/need to change the URL later, you can simply parse the URL to get the ID back to create redirects. A lot of sites of all scales don't implement redirects which makes me sad. I think there was a news site acquired by Bloomberg, I forgot the name. When you visited an article in the old domain, it redirected to a landing page on Bloomberg saying it was part of Bloomberg now instead of redirecting to its new URL.
