Howdy Chris,

First, you might want to strip the page down to only what is needed

Second, I'm not sure if you want to parse non-OL args, but if you do you
can do so by using O.U.getParameters in your init()

function init() {
.
.
.
var arg_pairs = new OpenLayers.Util.getParameters();
/*
 * arg_pairs is an JS object of Key/Value pairs
 */

  if (arg_pairs.zip) {
      zip = parseInt(arg_pairs.zip);
      var uri = "http://someplace/cgi-bin/ConvertZip2LonLat.py?zipcode="+zip;
      OpenLayers.loadURL(uri, '', this, setZipCode);
  } else {
.
.
.
