Looking for finding around URLs

Hello,
Can someone point me to research finding around whether users pay attention to a URL changes?

Quick background info:
I am doing work for a company and there is resistance to having the URL change to much. For example you are on the www.blue.com site and you click on a link that changes the URL to www.red.blue.com.

Keep in mind I am talking about the URL only.

Mozilla Labs: Ubiquity

Aza Raskin presents very intriguing interaction paradigm for the
browser, similar to his previous work with Enzo for the OS; instead of
you going to services, the application pulls those services in to your
workflow via a natural language command line.

He's created a nice video demoing the app

I wonder what people's thoughts are on (power-user orientated?)
command line interfaces when compared to the visually heavy designs at
the other end of the spectrum, e.g.

Creating a UI Spec Document Template

Right now our small team is communicating UI changes and enhancements
with developers using PowerPoint mock ups with notes. I am concerned
this will eventually backfire and would like to bring a little more
formality to the process. Is anyone willing to share their UI spec
document and/or recommendations for putting together a spec. I have
used the PayPal format before but it has been a while and I don't
remember everything that was in it.

Since our team is very small I don't want to bring about a lot of
paperwork just something to make sure we have all of our bases
covered.

Thanks,
Jamie

Emogrifier - Convert HTML & CSS into gmail friendly emails

Hello all.

I wanted to let everyone know about a free / open source utility we
recently launched called the Emogrifier. I'm sure most of us have
struggled with getting HTML emails to display properly in gmail. We
recently had to tackle this issue with one of our web apps, so we
thought we'd share the solution with other designers and developers.
This utility merges HTML and CSS into one document using inline styles
that gmail and other strict web-based email clients can understand.
