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&param=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&param=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.
