Is there a way they can 'turn off' that ability to append /deepfolder/ordeep-page.html ?

I'm hoping that's a hard and fast 'rule' for NATS rather than a feature that can be enabled/disabled

It certainly would not be the first time that has happened and unless you are monitoring your deeplinks, you will have no idea that a site's URL structure was changed.
The deeplinking isn't something that needs to be enabled or can be disabled.

The issues that can arise with deeplinking are things such as what was mentioned (link structure changes after you setup the deep link), or other issues such as a site/tour that doesn't simply use www.domain.com as the default URL. If for instance the tour's URL was www.domain.com/tour.html and you appended /content.html sending the visitor to www.domain.com/tour.html/content.html wouldn't do anyone any good.

These are the only type of reasons I could imagine an affiliate program not recommending you to use deeplinking. If there is a program you know of asking you not to, or if anyone is unsure about anything I'd be happy to hear and clarify any issues.

Anytime (although I was a bit slower the 2nd time around). If you need anything else please feel free to mention it here or contact me directly.

I'll also be in Phoenix from the 27th to the 29th. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss anything in person.
