[development] $_REQUEST/$_COOKIE scope in URLs?

OK. $_REQUEST seems a weird place to store attributes of a results table, 
but at least that explains why the serialization is happening, if that's the 
accepted way of doing it. I suppose it's no weirder than the use to which 
I'm putting the same scope. Maybe I should switch all my request-persistent 
storage to $GLOBALS, like almost everything else...!

Cheers,
