Thats right, but a url of the form
http://www.example.org/local/these/are/parameters doesn't have any
sub-directories invoved (other than the directory that the php script
'local' is in.

http://alert.bigsites/books/export/javascript/usercat/10/comp/12
is a project I'm finishing up, in this case, 'books' is a directory,
and 'export' is a script. The '/javascript/usercat/10/comp/12' are
the parameters to the script. (ie output Javascript with the user#10,
category 10, sub-cat 12 - 'Operating Systems'). You can see the end
result at
<URL:http://alert.bigsites/alert/showLink.php?style=javascript&url=http://alert.bigsites/books/export/javascript/usercat/10/comp/12>

In this case, the need wasn't to be search-engine friendly, but people
friendly, a short snippet of javascript with a single URL to get the
data.
