I really have a problem with using URI's for this. RFC2396 (http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/rfc2396.txt) section 6 talks about URI Normalisation and equivalence It says that URI equivalence is defined on a scheme basis. You have chosen the http scheme so we are presumably required to apply the http definition of URI equivalence. This does not seem to me to be a desirable criteria for equivalence.
