Many thanks!

There's also the new query parameters function from within Webmaster Tools.

I like how you can add specific parameters to be ignored. I just did it. Now I wonder how this affects existing incoming links that incorporate those parameters? Are just parameters ignored or links at whole?
To me it sounds like it ignores parameters only.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} . RewriteRule .? http://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI}? [R=301,L]

This is what I ideally wanted to do but always dreaded because I was afraid I would lose my data carried through variables and written into cookies.
I guess I should (finally) test it, rather then just talk about it.
