I need this feature too, because in my case the URL will point to a user home and must be as easy as possible to remember. It is also my opinion that slashes are more aesthetically pleasing than ampersands. Complete control of the URL can also make it easier to understand what it points to if formatted carefully. http://cool.com/usersegment/username looks much nicer and is easier to remember than http://cool.com/userPage.seam?s=usersegment&u=username Outgoing url rewriting seems hard to do with urlrewrite filter brcause the urls arent sent in one encode request.. so the url filter gets just parts of the url at different times.
