What are SEO friendly features of a Shopping Cart?

1. Short Links
URLs that don't use paramaters, but instead uses url's that are rewritten and redirected to what appear to be static html pages

Example of bad URL:
http://www.domain.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=category-name

Example of good URL:
http://www.domain.com/category-name.html

Many 3rd party shopping carts now allow this type of thing. Like Miva Merchant 5.5, Magento Commerce, OsCommerce and many others.
