Why is Pylons continuing to pass GET parameters?

Question

I'm building a small application in Pylons, and it seems to keep propagating GET parameters from a page into all the links on that page. Is there a way to make it stop doing that?

---

For example, my ledger controller has a summary action that takes a ledger_id parameter, mapped with the following in the routing.py file:

map.connect('/ledger/{ledger_id}/{action}', controller='ledger')

Then, when that page renders, I use the helper in the template to build my links:

${h.url_for(controller='transaction', action='activity', account_id=account.id)}

But the rendered link has the ledger_id stuck on the end of it, even though I didn't specify it:

http://localhost:5000/account/27/transaction/activity?ledger_id=1

I have visions of a dozen superfluous GET variables accumulating on the end of my URI as I navigate around the site. Will these continue to propagate? Can I get rid of them?

It seems a Route memory http://pylonsbook.com/en/1.1/urls-routing-and-dispatch.html#route-memory
