I'm not convinced it's an issue.  Google doesn't seem to care, at least
for top level pages.  If you get static pages indexed, you then lose
the referer and that seems more of an issue.  We use web server
rewrites and include minivend in ssi where a client gets really 
concerned about bcentral reports.  :-)
