"Tiny" URLs work correctly for the Unicode/XML Tanach if you obtain a "tiny" URL for the entire URL plus parameters. That is, if you take

http://www.cvkimball.com/Tanach/TanachSearch.xml?Deut26:5-26:9

to http://tinyurl.com and obtain http://tinyurl.com/4gfth .

I had hoped that parameters could be added to the "tiny" URL itself, i.e.

http://tinyurl.com/6qgt4?Deut26:5-26:9

which doesn't work (for me). Thanks to Maurice A. O'Sullivan for pointing this out.

A point to consider is whether you'll remember where the "tiny" URL, "4gfth", is pointing when you return to it years from now.
