the tutorials are great.  the design pattern is really clear and
really useful.

one thing that would have been helpful for me is to add a section (in
2.html) on how the /add method fits in.  in the tutorial example, i
would expect that ".../categories/languages/add" would add a new
language subcategory.

what's a more challenging question (for me at least) is where to hang
the /add method when you don't have a object tree, but a layer of
similar objects at the same depth; for example, .../appointments/1,
/2, /3 etc.  It's obvious what .../appointments/2/edit means, but
what .../appointments/2/add doesn't make much sense.  (Although
.../2/copy is pretty cool.)

The best I can figure is to do .../appointments/add.  Not sure how
this fits into the pattern.
