There are better solutions... and we'd be better off if one of them is standardized and we use it instead.
Is anything like this planned for HTTP 1.1? or 1.2? It might be easier to get something like this into a standard if somebody hacks up part of the solution and runs it for a while as I described with redirects. Then the standards makers can say, "Hey here is a great idea and we can solve all these problems with it by incorporating it into HTTP 1.2".
