I just had another thought on this:

One thing we could do -- to make this even easier -- would be to grab =20=
data from an object passed into the {% link %} tag. So in your =20
example urlconf::
(r'^people/(?P<state>\w\w)/(?P<name>\w+)/$', =
'path.to.person_view'),
If a Person object had ``state`` and ``name`` attributes, you could do::
{% link path.to.person_view person %}
(where ``some_person`` is an object in the context) as a shortcut to::
{% link path.to.person_view state=3Dperson.state =
name=3Dperson.name %}
That way if you set up your URLconfs in a logical manner -- I'd bet =20
90% of my urlconfs already work this way -- the shortcut version =20
would Just Work=99.
