Unless I have misunderstood what you are saying ...
as a developer I do want to know the difference between fields in a POST form
and query items on the URL. I will sometimes use them together, eg:
<form action="?context=something" method="post" >
...
and specifically check $_GET['context'] - there might be a $_POST['context'] but
that is treated completely differently.
