Yes, but I cannot see it going away anytime soon. Probably at the 4.0  
release. In any case it is "fixed" at version 1.7 behavior so people  
should move away from it.

I just don't think the combined egg should be called 'url'. The  
preferred API consists of the 'uri-' procedures, so the name is  
confusing. I think a uri egg w/ the 'url-' procedures will ease  
migration w/o name confusion. (Ok, your not confused. I'm not  
confused. Felix isn't confused. But a new user might be.)
