FWIW, I don't think "SEO-friendly" URLs matter:
My opinion is that SEF URLS only matter on search result pages because a user will more likely click on a nice URL then on one with many parameters. A friendly URL can also give the user a preview of the page content.
SEF(I would call it search user friendly 'SUF'), in my opinion, has nothing to do with SEO. I have one XOOPS site on first page(many times on first place) for several of the most important keywords of its niche and I never used URL rewriting.
More important yet, many of my search engine traffic comes from the 'not so important' keywords. It is not that important to get the most relevant ones. What you really need is unique content, the more unique content you have, the more successful you site will be.
Friendly URLS have low priority in my XOOPS feature request list. I also find them very hard to implement on the current XOOPS architecture.
