We need the "used" URL to add some hints to the generated websites, that the URL of the form "/abc/1234" is now obsolete and that users should use "/xyz/1234" instead (this is a very simplified version of the use case; just imagine, we *really* need the originally used URL at the "end of the rewriting process") :-) TIA -stefan-
