You might also be interested in The Tangled Web: A Guide to Securing Modern Web Applications by Michal Zalewski. I'm pretty sure URL parsing is discussed, though it's been a while since I read it.

But yes, security is a large part of the reason to pursue this effort. Not sure anyone here needs convincing of that, but exploits do always make for interesting reading and sometimes inform necessary changes.
