But the right thing to do in this example. A resource shouldn't have
different URLs depending on where you click from, so if you can't
track the outgoing link for some reason then a query parameter seems
correct to me.
But as you already know, I do definitely prefer the much nicer http://
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00b3zjr for the URL itself ;-)

Oh, how awful. You must have been horrified when you realised your
mistake. Still, cool URIs don't change so I guess you're stuck with
it!
