Have you ever used mod_rewrite for anything complex? - it's a complete nightmare (unpredictable, almost impossible to debug..., uncomprehensible syntax.....)
This looks like quite usefull. - a little cleaner than 404 redirecting, which is the other way it's done at present..
To throw my 2cents in:
I implemented a mod_rewrite scheme for docweb (cvs:/docweb) and it was also a bit nasty (even though it was simple). 404 redirecting (my original idea) failed because it seems Apache discards POST data when calling the result of an ErrorDocument handler.
This patch seems like it might have solved my problem in a much less hackish manner, if it were widespread (ie, in core).
