Yuck.. justed checked it. You're right! How could they let that slip??
To be precise however, QUERY_STRING is set by the server. What browsers
are supposed to do is take whatever was entered into the form and
encode it into the URL to transmit it back to the server.

Which 0.7.5.3 doesn't. :-(

Well, the friendly people from Omni Development will hopefully fix
this soon. They've always been quick to release bug fixes, and this
one's big.

Keep up the good work.
