How a URL is exposed have got nothing to do with how it is displayed.

This is how you implement it in your application, and is a separate issue.
The long URLs are actually not that bad, apart from the fact that
they're not valid (lacking URL-encoding), and they're using
non-standard mechanisms for selection which also is very counter to
the Web (and would probably break caching mechanisms everywhere).
