OpenURLs at NPR site

I just noticed this morning that NPR uses OpenURLs for the javascript links that open the audio player but, for the page about the story--the page where you find that link--they use a simple 'storyid' for a php call.

Page URL: [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12909121&ft=1&f=1008]

Audio URL:
[javascript:launchPlayer('12909122', '1', '19-Aug-2007','
&topicName=Arts___Culture&subtopicName=Arts___Culture
& prgCode=WESUN
&hubId=-1
&thingId=12909121
&ssid=
&tableModifier=', 'RM,WM');]

I added returns to make the longggg url easier to read. Obviously the real url has no spaces or returns. My favorite field is the 'thingID'. ;~)
