1. The term "request URI" is a confusing term for the URI of the source making the request, when the HTTP request has a URI in it which is the requested URI. It isn't the URI of the requesting client, either. Suggest: codebase URI? This is like 'codebase principals' in existing security models.
It is actually the URI of the requesting party, it's just making the request using the UA as proxy. The term "requesting URI" does seem more appropriate though.
