Sure it is, it just isn't very descriptive :)

So you haven't tripped over your own file naming system yet? I do it all the time.

Sometimes it's because I trade off a precisely descriptive filename for one that includes a keyword. And sometimes it's because I just didn't think ahead to how things will be when I come back after 6 months on other projects and have to find my way around again.

That said, f.html could be a great filename for an alphabetical page in a large glossary section.

I don't like making my page titles too descriptive. I think it would make it too tempting for users to bypass the regular path into the site.
