Here is a round about proof. :)
If you had the choice of buying the same car for
either 10000 or 5000 what would you pay?
I would only pay 5000.
Orig-URI and Orig-Host fall well under the same analogy.
The path requested plus the info in Orig-Host give the
same amount of information as the Orig-URI with half
the data.
I'm not going to add something as wasteful as Orig-URI
when there are better alternatives.

Well you seem to be the only person objecting to it now. If
you would simply agree with your previous position we could
be done with this.
