I have always liked this approach.  And I don't do it for every single page,
just the important starting nodes.

One caveat... This is probably v. obvious, but I speak from experience....
when specifying the /short/ protocol for your URLs, make sure that either
http://www.company.com/short (no slash) or http://www.company.com/short/
will work.
