Post/Get collection 'collapse'

A client just sent me a web security report for a Mason-based site I 
built for him a while ago (Mason 1.38). The report, which was generated 
by HP WebInspect, complains that form scripts on the site are not 
distinguishing between POST and GET parameters. A summary of the problem 
is provided, explaining that 'collapsing' POST and GET params into a 
single collection exposes the site to XSS and other attacks.

I'd like to get list users' thoughts on the degree of vulnerability 
represented. Is there a best practice way of dealing with this issue?

Thanks,
MM
