Nick, I didn't read the whole article, but I think I get the idea of what you want to do. There was a similar discussion about this on another list. The discussion had to do with "friendly URLs".
For instance: http://www.site.com?id=123¶m=456 would be mapped to this friendly URL http://www.site.com/123/456 Anyway, the idea (suggested by Ron Hornbaker who uses it on Bookcrossing.com) that came up during this discussion was to make use of a custom 404 page that translates the friendly URL in to the real URL. So when a user requests http://www.site.com/123/456 they end up going to the 404 page (because the URL doesn't actuall exists) which translates displays the information as if the user had requested http://www.site.com?id=123¶m=456. I've been putting some time in to coming up with a method to make this easy to do since as you can imagine the number of rules could become overwhelming. I'd rather have something where the real URL could be inferred rather than have a separate rule for each type of URL.
