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.

Regards,
Wim.
