Default Re: XC SEO v1.1.0 Released

I've noticed with many of the sites using XC SEO that their URL's still have the category #, product ID, or a letter like "p" (page) or "c" (category). For example many of the URL's that I've seen look like this:

http://www.widgets.com/category/blue-widgets-c-365.html

I'm just wondering if it's possible to remove those extra characters from the URL. The main reason why I ask is that for SEO purposes, let's say that I wanted to obtain a deep link to one of the product pages of my site. Or if another site decided to link to one of my product pages. The more characters I have in the URL, the more probability I'm giving them to make a typo error when inputting the filepath. So for me, I think the URL...

http://www.widgets.com/category/blue-widgets.html

...would be ideal.

I haven't actually installed the mod yet Jon, so you may have already addressed this issue. I'm just going based on the sites that are currently using XC SEO.

Also, one other question if I may. My site isn't live yet, and it's sitting in the "xcart" directory. Would it be wise for me to install the mod after I've moved to the root directory, or will XC SEO dynamically update my URL's to their new filepath?

Thanks for the help.
