Re: domain-name?

I also think defining Orig-URI in a way that %% in the value string
means the URL in the request is the best solution.  It provides the
needed domain name, it is short in most situations, and it doesn't cut
off the URN possibilities on the grounds that they are not yet
widespread.  Things spread quickly these days, after all.
