---- Is it time for Google to tone down the URL component of their Algo?

I can see how domain names can get out of hand, but not all keyword-rich URLs are "spammy." For example, if I write an article on doughnut shops in Venice, I'll call it something like doughnut-shops-in-venice.htm. Why? Not to do better in Google, but so I can:

1) Find the article more quickly when I want to revise it.

2) Provide the URL off the top of my head if I get an e-mail from somebody that asks, "Can you tell about doughnut shops in Venice"?

(Note to moderator: "doughnut shops in Venice" is not a real-life example; if there are any doughnut shops in Venice, as opposed to bakeries that happen to sell a few doughnuts, I have yet to find them.)
