The model's URL will be inherited from the collection (assuming it's in one) so this isn't necessary. It will correctly POST to the collection URL and GET and PUT using the `id` if defined. The only issue is that Backbone does not provide a trailing slash, so that is why the base model defines the model url as [this](https://github.com/cbmi/cilantro/blob/2.1/src/coffee/cilantro/models/base.coffee#L6-L7).
