The webmaster I'm talking to is responsible for URLs that end like this
.... *.cfm?doc_id=n ... and thinks it's perfectly acceptable

In that case, the webmaster is making dynamically generated pages.
URLs that end like that are necessary, because they're used to pass
variables to the page.  The other option is to use "post" to pass the
variables, which could cause annoyance when refreshing or using
back/forward.  Beyond that, any way to get rid of the ?doc_id=n and
such at the ends of the URLs would require an entire rewriting of the
backend, or maybe even getting rid of the backend all together and
writing every page as static html.  Which likely isn't worth it just
to get easier URLs.
