 > it would be nice if users could see the URL being previewed in a
 readable manner. And it would be cool if the url was more contextual to
 the page being customized. What about implementing support for
 http://example.com/sample-page/customize-like URLs, similar to what the
 front-end editor does?

 Currently, when previewing a specific URL, this URL appears in the `url`
 query parameter and is URL-encoded—making it unreadable. While a
 `customize` rewrite endpoint is one approach, for example:

 {{{
 /2014/04/01/hello-world/customize/
 }}}

 This could potentially introduce conflicts with existing rewrite rules.
 Another approach would be to introduce a new rewrite base, for example:

 {{{
 /wp-customize/2014/04/01/hello-world/
 }}}

 Special care will be needed when the domain of the admin is different than
 the domain for the site appearing in the preview.

 Note that any `return` or `theme` query parameters would need to remain
 attached to the above URL:

 {{{
 /wp-customize/?return=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwp-admin%2F
 }}}
