Correct. Wt's previous bookmarkable URLs were already search-engine friendly, but with the new change, the URLs have exactly the format you request. Google bots are detected, don't have to go through the bootstrap, and the page is rendered as if it was requested by a browser that does not support javascript. As such, google can crawl through your application. If you programmed them, google will see perfect URL's of the form http://site.com/gps/abc/garmin/nuvi350 or whatever you want. For example, google indexes every corner of the Wt homepage. Wt is, in comparison with most other web application frameworks, very well optimized for search engines.
