At the current time they are pretty much implicit, even if what one is 
doing, like you describe below, isn't an application that uses sessioning.
There's very little performance penalty to the sessioning, though.  It just 
means that your session gets stuffed into a cache.

First, let's make sure I am answering the right question.  You want to 
receive requests at /comment/FOO, where FOO can be anything.  You want to 
then invoke some component with the value of FOO passed to it so that it can 
query the right set of comments to display, right?
