if a user initially sees your url in your rss feed, and then posts it to reddit or hn or bookmarks it on delicious, doesn't it screw up all of your statistics for visitors-from-rss-feeds if it has those url tokens? i mean everyone would be visiting the page telling your statistics engine that they came from an rss feed when they didn't.
it seems like a better way of doing it would be to capture those tokens at an initial url, but then redirect the user to the proper, clean url without them. that way you get accurate stats for visitors-from-rss-feeds, but everyone else that clicks through as that clean url is passed along appears as a different source.
