Just thought I would share my recent experience using urls of the form:

/action/param_name1/param_value1/param_name2/param_value2

I used this form in a website of mine to great success UNTIL november when
Google started penalising any site that contains "duplicate content".
If the parameters passed to the page do not result in a "significantly 
different" resulting page then google will assume that you have duplicate 
pages on your site and will penalise you.

In November and December my site traffic dropped to 25% almost overnight
after their "Jagger" update.  After changing my URL's back to the more
conventional form:

/action?param_name1=param_value2&param_name2=param_value2

My traffic has returned to normal.

Lesson learned: don't assume you are smarter than Google to gain more
traffic. Stick to statndard URL schemes.
