This tells me Google should consider providing shortened URLs. maps.google.com/a7sga would be great.

That could possibly be implemented as a hash of the included header/response terms.

A simple example could be http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hacker+news+site:yc... -> http://www.google.com/search?#b9fh23

One downside would be that you can't see the query parameters and values in plaintext, but a browser extender / inspector could probably do this.
