Comment (by jeremyclarke):

 @akhost: I'm talking to him in IRC right now. He means that regardless of
 whether you CAN make a link that works right now (without using the
 %category% element in your post urls, which is very bad in many ways and
 isn't a viable solution) it SHOULD work, so yes, he means that it needs to
 be worked out.

 I think his main intention was to say that we should NOT depend on raw
 urls like ?cat=1&m=200808, but instead figure out nice permalinks that can
 solve the problem instead (though the ugly versions should still be
 converted if they are used).

 Does that makes sense? Our choice solution would be to (once the redirects
 are worked out) also have a new function for creating pretty permalinks
 with multiple query vars, something like:
 {{{
 get_archive_url('cat=1&m=200808');
 }}}

 Who knows when that might be done though, so for now I recommend my
 workaround until it happens.
