I recently moved a bunch of pages around using .htaccess, I was using the exact same strategy - turning my page.htm?var=foo into page/foo.htm

Those pages were all Googlebotted, then promptly (within a week) slammed with a PR0. I can't be sure if it was the Apache noodling that caused the Googewrath, but it seems like the most plausible explanation.

so, be careful...
