how would his second form work with subdomains? the name of a server is a distinct piece of information from the path to some piece of data on that server. if everything's a slash, there's no obvious way to distinguish between the two. "com/example/foo/bar" could mean either "foo.example.com/bar" or "example.com/foo/bar", both of which are perfectly valid.
