[Seaside] Truly Opaque URLs

[Sebastian Sastre]

:P ugh..  Yeah, theys are even ugliers. 

It's true that common *not yet used to rich web apps* user is just not used
to the fact that he/she don't have to bookmark nor type url's (beside a
domain) because there is no need to. But that will happen to he/she with all
new technologies not only Seaside.

	I was interpretating that Jimmie had achieved no strage urls in
Seaside. Let's concentrate again on real value.

	cheers,

Sebastian Sastre
