The problem is that without cookies, if I set "long=1" when you're looking
at a certain page, then as soon as you go to a different page on the site,
then $long is no longer set. Unless every single intra-site link contains a
"long=1". Sure, I could set the navbar links to have "long=1" in them, but
making it consistent would require that, say, a (non-navbar) link in
about/index.php3 to about/i18n.php3 would *also* need to have the "long=1"
in it. Which is too complicated.
