Personally, I don't see the problem with making such an identifier part
of the URL. I do it all the time (via http://..../blah?state=XXX) and it
works just fine. No problems with caches, etc. It turns out to be a real
pain and break lots of browsers if you have a URL that points to
different documents at different (closely spaced) times.
