Todd, others,

Sounds like there is general support.  For specifics, my own quick thoughts are it
would be easier, maybe better, to start with one top level folder, and put the 
options off of that, with some "MUST" options, and many "MAY" options.  I would probably
prefer this sort of organization:

  my.org/genome{s}/    
    -- return information/help page with links, MUST offer
   { plurals are tricky - do people remember them? }
  my.org/genome/dna  == return full genome dna in fasta format  
         genome/genome == alias to /dna
  my.org/genome/protein{s} == return " proteins in fasta
         genome/proteome  == alias to proteins
  my.org/genome/transcript{s} ==  transcripts in fasta
	 genome/transcriptome  == alias to transcripts 
  my.org/genome/feature{s} ==  features in GFF
         genome/gff  == alias to features

   -- other options as people want to support them
       genome/versions/ ...
       genome/species/ ..
   -- and/or use CGI options for these "?species=x&version=y"

But we should decide what good common terms above and option names are.
