The rationale is that our libraries should reject invalid input to prevent third party clients which pass invalid input from crashing. Clients passing a canonicalised path instead of a URL are not violating API rules at the syntactic level so they shouldn't just crash. And there's no reason to have our own client pass invalid input either. Stefan
