For one, it adds definition to the code. It's easier to see what's going on
when the FORM or URL scope is explicity used.
For two, there are a few times when you'll have a page that could accept a
variabl via form or url. In this case you MAY choose to leave the variable
name unscoped so that either one will be picked up by the code, but further
down in the same code you may need to distinguish between FORM or URL to
determine a course of action.
There are plenty more reasons hiding out there, but these are two I can
think of right now... I'm sure someone will berate me for even mentioning
the second one, and to them I say "there is a time and place for everything"

OK, I'll bite. Why? What good does it do?
