In some cases Pier does not add a continuation keys.
I was talking about sites like:
http://www.cmsbox.ch/
which do not have session and continuation keys or other parameters
for pure navigation links. This requires effort to implement but once
you have it it would be nice if you could profit from link prefetching
to improve the browsing experience of your users.
