Dynamic webpage generation. They enter a name or whatever, Submit, and 
the returned page has the ident built into the urls that point to my pages. If 
they bookmark the page, or "favorites" it, the url is saved complete with the 
data they entered. I'd use this only for user persistance on sequential 
pages. Generally, i don't care. Cookies get killed and faked here before IE 
ever sees them.
