A more accurate description would be "URL parameters" or "query 
parameters" instead of GET.  Though POST variables really are POST 
variables (request body parameters, maybe, but that's kind of 
confusing).  And if you have POST, it's a natural tendency to consider 
the "opposite" of POST as GET and call them GET variables.
