I've used them a lot; they're my preferred method of separating query

Something less than normal and more than esoteric, methinks.

The clients don't create URL args; those are generated by the site in

the client is requesting a URL the server previously served, surely that
URL is A-OK.

You know there's going to be trouble when a laser capable of turning all
