Paul Boddie <p...@boddie.org.uk> added the comment: The issue of distinguishing between query-originating parameters and form-originating parameters has been around for a very long time, and in my own work, especially where the cgi module has been used, I've been careful to distinguish between the two types and to merge them only if this is desired.
