I just meant that there are two tables for every object.  One is always KBObjects and the
other is the table that stores information unique to that object.  For articles that table is
"Articles".  Because the object requires fields different from say... External Documentation
or Users.  p= points to the record in THAT EXTRA table that matches up with the proper
KBObjects record.  But I don't need it in the URL anymore... do you?  If not, I'm going to do
away with it.

Does this tag need to be inside of the <HEAD> tags or anything?  Any positionin requirments?

Cool.

I prefer o= to come before action... but if it makes your life easier thats fine.  I don't
like the id= thingy.  It annoys me.  Lemme ask you this:  Is the search form on the php pages
submitting directly to htdig or will it be submitting to a Perl page?  My understanding was
that'd be submitting to a Perl page, in which case, couldn't you break the last number off of
o= and pass it into htdig if that makes Dean's life easier?  It would simplify my object's
render_string creation logic.

If we can do that, then here is my URL preference... and if you don't like it... change it :)
and I will listen:

.../render.php3?o=x.y.z&type=t&action=blah

Final thoughts on this matter before we put it in stone anyone?  :)
