You're right, suffixes are useful for POST requests, and we're using
them already.

And I just had a chat with David who mentioned using suffixes for GET
requests, for example in case a file is uploaded as an nt:resource at
/content/mypage/upload, and it is useful to have
/content/mypage/upload/originalname.pdf as the download URL, so that
downloaders get the right filename.

That's two use-cases where suffixes are useful, thanks for clarifying
that - that's enough for me to want to keep them, I just needed to
have concrete cases.
