You might find my inferred_routes plugin of interest; it's available at
http://www.risleydale.net/svn/inferred_routes/tags/0.1.1

One fix has been submitted that I haven't applied yet (involving
CamelCase model names), but in general the idea is that it enables you
to do:

  comment_url(comment)

and it infers comment.article for the missing first argument.
