My constant point is that there's no way that network operators will allow this. Network configuration is locked down, and only changeable during pre-planned maintenance windows. At such times, only known-good and pre-tested configurations are rolled out. The equivalence option can be tested in isolation in a lab, and the configuration proven. There's no external influence upon the configuration. Whereas the URI mechanism cannot be tested in isolation because it's dependent upon the URI content, which could be modified at any time without notice. Also, this introduces a new attack vector upon the collector - ie, by feeding it malformed or incorrect data through the URI. So from a network operator point of view, I wouldn't buy that.
