[wp-hackers] Any alternative to $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] for SEO friendly URLs?..

[dave jaggy]

I also want it to be independent of the permalink structure. I mean I
want the plugin to work despite of what structure (nice or not nice)
is selected by user. I think there's just has to be some translation
method between URIs... I know $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] should work, but
id will be some kind of semi-workable, I mean it will work only on
usual URIs or only on nice ones. That's my main problem.
