I understand the problem with the robots.txt and favicon.ico (or any file in the root), but what do you mean by "script paths"?
Things like skins/ that must be outwardly accessible. Again, you wouldn't really be able to create a "Skins" page.
Of course, with more software support, all of this would be perfectly possible. Things like robots.txt and the PHP files can be added to a blacklist checked by the Title constructor, so no page by that name can be created. The software could even be nice enough to transparently serve the correct files if something asks for robots.txt and the admin didn't specifically exempt it from the rewrite rule. There doesn't, however, seem to be much interest in doing any of that at present, and the configuration I posted remains the recommended one.
