Acually I am running OSC ms1 on my live site and I activated sef url and it is different but it works. Inktomi has been crawling my site like mad and all the product pages so I am going to see how this works. I even got picked up by MSN because of the change which is NICE. SO aperantly the build in SEF links do work ok for search engines even though they are not fully developed. SO I would say try the built in feature. inktomi aprears to like it. I know that its still listed as .php but its a step in the right direction. 

HAS ANYONE goten this to work on there whole site including the shoping cart?? I have a live site and I dont want to mess it up. I also use .htaccess to password protect my site and to get people to automaticly go to /catalog as soon as they type www.special-things.net I also have password protection in .htaccess for certain directories so I can not replace my .htaccess file. Will the contribution work with my password code in .htaccess?? anyway I dont want to install it untill I know someone who has it working on there whole site and people are able to acually buy product. Cause the search engines can find me now I am just 20 pages back. even google lists me. However they do not pick up my key words at all. 

Please let me know if this is in production somewhere.
