Wasn't aware of exately what you were doing.  It sounded like multiple 
things were in the query_string.  If its already a single key, than 
there is no need to use a different key.  And no, I don't like 
remebering URLs ... thus all the fuss about breaking bookmarks ;-)

Using a URL to encode when something occurred was being offered as a 
solution to know what commitfest it is.  I'm not sure where your 
confusion is?
