Not a bad idea.  I gather this will be an alias for digitalmars.com/d?

Personally, I don't think this will be a problem because:

1) Like you say, its imminently searchable.
2) Most browsers feature auto-complete for url's so clicking the location and
hitting 'www.d' on the keyboard will most likely complete the whole mess.
3) It'll encourage bookmarking (a good thing).

Barring cache wipes, I almost never type the entire URL for anything more than
once.  Anything else that I, or my browser, forget about I just google instead.
I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in having use habits like these. ;)
