In fact I had this requirement multiple times, marketing departments of
large companies don't want to show the user cryptic urls he don't
understand. Last time I had it a large austrian company from the food
sector, they reasoned, they don't want different urls, because they want
always their "cool url". (The solution was the frameset, since the
background of the side was white, 1pix white border above the content didn't
matter).
Because of idiots like these (I mean your Austrian company) I have to
go another mile and to open a frame in a separate window and bookmark
it.
Another point may be, that you don't want a user to bookmark a specific
action, because it's so highly dynamical, that it doesn't make sense. If you
always show the same url, the (normal dummy) user always bookmarks and comes
out at your homepage.
An application should be intelligent enough to recognize that a user
requested an invalid resource, and tell him that resource is removed,
and redirect him to home page.
But I can live with frames, using PST for everything is the most
hideous solution ever.
