Hi Nemo - I think the concern was that it might be the case that the 'title' parameter may be at the end of the URL, and the 'title' parameter could in principle support a value with forward slashes potentially indistinguishable from the string in option #2. Of course, regular expressions can make anything possible in theory :) Anybody else able to explain further on the title schema risk?
