Is it just GET parameters that are forbidden? Can you get away with using path 
segments?
can you use /foo/cats/paged/3 and still fit this "rule"?

Also, hiding things in the session will get you silly results (and not the good 
kind of silly) and a confused user when the session expires while the user is 
not looking.

        user clicks "next page"
        user meets login page
        all state is lost when new session is created
        user comes looking for a spine to put an axe in
