Anyway I share this only because the original post seemed to focus on
GET vs. POST more than XSS. I restrict GET as much as possible in site
development because it can expose the inner workings of the site and
secure methodology or not, we all miss something from time to time.

I don't understand this philosophy.  If you forget what is visible in the
web browser and look at what is put on the wire, which is trivially viewed
with packages like ethereal, the only difference between GET and POST
requests is that the parameters for GET requests are on the request line
and parameters for POST requests are in the body.  To me the security
implications are practically identical.
