Right.  Again, I could be getting this wrong, but my
understanding of the rewrite is that once set up, the
server responds to a request for new URL by sending
new URL, and responds to a request for old URL also
by sending new URL.

If so, then your crawler page (or even just a
visiting spider) would still be able to
use all-new seemingly-argless URLs.  Provided that
your intra-site links were formatted in the new style.

Or am I wrong?
