Suppose my server comes with a package where I have to route endpoints
based on URL parameters, so the WEIRDS requests come in to “
https://example.com?service=weirds <https://example.com/?service=weirds>"
so that’s my registry value.

In this case, appending /domain/whatever is going to result in a malformed
URI reference, or at least one that’s going to cause all the standard
parsing libraries trouble.
