I am working on an update to this document given the comments on the mailing list.

For this issue, to have some rewrite rules for the URI, I pushed back slightly on the mailing list, and I interpret your response to that (Florian) as if you agree it is dangerous.

My take is, given noone else ask for this, that such rewrite should not happen.

Because of this, I will not include any change because of this comment in the upcoming release.
