I just looked, and responded to the comments that were there. I didn't
see a comment from you.

Please re-read the proposal.
- There is nothing in the proposal suggesting use of query string
or suggesting putting anything at the end.
- While '/foo/edit;view/action.html' is a little bit different,
it doesn't contain any random strings and is fairly readable.
- If an object's presentation and content namespace don't overlap
(e.g. if an object doesn't have a content namespace because
it's not a container), the special syntax need not be used, as in
'foo/edit/action.html'.
