For all those out there that are not using SEOStrict with MODx, this is a good explanation of why you should.

Good stuff indeed; thanks for posting that.
And just so everyone feels better, 0.9.7 will feature this same behavior, with strict, canonical URLs out of the box (i.e. SEOStrict plugin will not be necessary). In addition, it will also introduce content-type specific file extensions and headers, plus customizable container extensions (e.g. containers can end in / or /index[file_extension] or simply act like non-containers, etc.).
yep, canonical urls & duplicate content continues to be a massive issue for getting good SEO results. Google has especially come down hard with dupe filters in 2007. One to watch out for - every page should have a single, unique URL & only ever one URL
