 	Is that necessary?  I would expect either search engines to not be 
able to search a parameterized site at all, or be able to distinguish 
different parameters as different sites, and so not think that a 404 on 
one page would mean a 404 on all others.  I was under the impression that 
search engines didn't like parameterized sites, and so that is why we 
created the "search engine friendly" URLs before we had custom URLs.  But, 
I don't really know the answer to that, and if someone else says that 
isn't how it works, then we should return a 200.

 	That sounds good.

 	That is a setting in IE6 (and IE7 I think), and that is the 
person's choice, and we shouldn't design around that.
