 Replying to [comment:31 Denis-de-Bernardy]:
 > I can see one good reason -- stats. md5($url) cannot go through
 parse_url() in order to eliminate dup data from the same domain: two sites
 or more on subdomains, multiple sites in folders, etc.

 If the problem is eliminating duplicate entries per domain, then the
 solution is simply to parse the URL ''before'' hashing it.
