You could always put everything in the root folder and name it numerically:

	/1.gif
	/2.gif
	/3.gif
	etc...

Then you have no bloat. :D

Personally I'll take the bloat for readability and maintainability any day.

Of course, if you have TONS of items, there's ways to generate the items
automatically either on the server or the client, using a standard naming
scheme. Photo album scripts do stuff like this all the time.
