This may be a duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/1030040, it's certainly a related issue.

I don't like what VDT does with the URLs, the ?vdt=view|page_x queries ruin carefully constructed clean urls and pseudo directory structures that carry arguments to views (clean URLs and views arguments being 2 of Drupal's most valuable features.

It seems like most of the rest of Drupal and contrib modules manage to handle name=value queries in "cleaner" more humane ways and I wonder why this module doesn't do so?

Also if this module needs to use name=value queries then shouldn't I be able to work around those with aliases, re-directs or re-writes?

I really like the idea behind this module but unless I can make it work WITH the views whose displays it is tabbifying then it ceases to be of help. I've tried to use path aliases, path re-directs (both the module and in my .htaccess file and re-writes in .htaccess and none of those work.

The module needs to carry values in the URL for SEO purposes, as well degrading gracefully in browsers without JS support.

If you have ideas for how it can be improved, please submit a patch.
