But there are two nice things about flypage:

   1.  It's automatically there 
   2.  Other sites that link to/from this online store have already been
       told to use the flypage format, and are developing accordingly
       (think of it as an online store that keeps extended descriptions,
       etc. on multiple servers across multiple domains, but wants to 
       maintain the session id when visiting another domain, then return
       it with a code identifying the remote domain)

I think that your solution is a good one to get things working in
a pinch.  I was just hoping to avoid telling everyone else that they
need to re-code their stuff.

But probably the biggest thing is satisfying my curiosity.  :)  Is this
a bug?  Is it supposed to work this way and I'm missing something?  I 
don't mind backing up and trying again, but I'd like to know why it
is instead of saying that I just couldn't get it to work...
