Yeah, it's not inherently bad, unless the CDN decides to make it so.
A gentle admonishment to keep this to information that directly
identifies the CDN would help.  Failing that, any information the CDN
adds should only be for its own consumption and it should therefore be
constructed in a way that ensures that.
