This actually shouldn't be too hard. What you would want to do is  
modify the code used by the ofbizUrl transform (somewhere in the  
webapp component, maybe the RequestDispatcher) to check the user  
agent of the browser. If it matches a UA for a web crawler then force  
it to NOT encode the session ID in URL output.

The URLs for products already use a special path design to include  
the query string (without showing that it is a query string) this  
addition should make the URLs pretty darn friendly.
