that's kind of how I was seeing it.. just a bool sign that any origins
referenced in this transaction or related sub resource transactions can
be checked for hints.. I'd probably just make it a sticky bit on the
internal host entry.

without something like that introducing any new well known uri will
generate 99.999% 404's and is going to generate piles and piles of bug
reports even if the actual load is trivial. For some things I'd absorb
that cost, but this doesn't really seem worth it. So some mitigation is
in order.
