Here's a reason where I wish I was using _url everywhere. I've switched my site to almost all ssl except for a google map page which needs to be in non-ssl ($10,000 for the ssl version). On that page (just like every other page) are about 15-20 navigation links that should point to https/ssl pages even though the map page itself is http.
I wish I wouldn't have to go through and change all those links to point to https using _url. I could instead use ssl_requirement and specify all pages should be ssl except for my map page, but I think I'd rather make all 15-20 links of navigation use the _url instead and force https to avoid an unneeded redirect/latency. I actually have redirects in apache conf file instead of using ssl_requirement, but same idea...why redirect when you can specify _url and have less latency? If you have a solution for me that would relieve my need to have _url for all my navigation due to the one http map page, please, let me know.
