true, it is usually moot. I've used a mod_rewrite rule like you mention
- was just trying to come up with an all-purpose function that would
work for any name/value pairs between the slashes... I think you are
right, it would be better to use good ol' ?...&...& in cases where
there might be an unsafe token - usually from user input which wouldn't
be indexed anyway.
