In some circumstances, yes HTTP_REFERER is fine. However query strings are arguably a useful method in some circumstances - feeds being a prime one. Reading a feed in Bloglines for example wouldn't give you a good way of tracking. So then that leads to the question of do you want two ways of tracking where people came from, which is technology dependent, or one way? Which fits in better with workflows, stats reporting etc etc. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
