Ok, good point.  Let me offer a different reason.

I don't consider the intent of "GET http://www.example.com?foo=bar" to
be to send "foo=bar" to example.com.  I consider that the intent is to
get a representation of the resource identified by that URI.  Why I
believe this is an important difference is because the obligation of
interpretation of that string lies with the recipient, not with the
sender.
