That's not such a bad idea, and would be quite simple, just put an  
extra check in the bit that is already checking to see if  
param.category is empty.

Thanks for the suggestion. I imagine that the reason it works like  
this is because OpenCMS is just making a cms link out of the path to  
the vfs file, rather than grabbing the current uri?

Is there some reason I'm not thinking of why it would be bad for  
OpenCMS change the behaviour to grab the uri instead?
