Since it's "called 'effective url'", "eurl" would be a more memorable 
prefix.  It might be better (despite the existing "url" for the complete 
url) to use "iurl" (initial) or "rurl" (requested) for the requested url 
and its components for consistency and to emphasize the distinction.  
You could keep "url" as a compatibility name, of course.

I vote for '.' over -'- as the delimiter.  It's consistent with 
structure/component references in other languages, and the variables are 
all members of a URL.
