Take a large mackerel to the next meeting and `SWOP!!` -- OK, a
little corporate fantasy there :-) I know where you're coming
from, and it's a common problem.
But someone owns the success or failure of the site, and if that
hinges on good search engine ratings, that owner should be saying
"make it so". And you can certainly ask if the company is better
served by URLs like
example.com/SomeFoo/baffle.jsp?d=islands&type=tropical&i=Jamaica
or
example.com/islands/tropical/Jamaica
Meanwhile, when the developers start their "we've always done it
this way" yadda-yadda dance, just roll your eyes and say "that is
*so* twentieth century" :-)
