Er, right. :)

I think the normal approach is to take whatever request URI comes in
from the browser and convert *that* on the fly.  For example if the
URI sent by the browser is

http://a/b/c?whatever

the rewrite rules (of which there can be many and which can be very
specific to particular cases) could for example rewrite the request
URI to

http://x/y/z?something_else

So it doesn't matter that your pages contain the wrong URI and so the
browser asks for the wrong URI, you fix it up on receipt - and return
the document which would have been sent just as if the URI requested
in the first place had been the right one.

I like what you did there. :)

BTW I think we're well off-topic here and should probably continue the
discussion privately if need be.  Don't worry if private mail to me is
rejected, I'll see it anyway.
