And I hope you didn't think I was rejecting your idea; I felt it worthy of 
discussion, but I wanted you to be more specific about the concerns.

I can see that these would be serious items to leak.  The one 
counter-argument I can come up with is that occasionally (rarely, I hope), 
these items might be the actual issue ... perhaps a failure to have a 
proper error response for something with the wrong format, and the 
wrongness has to be seen to be understood.

There's also the complicating factor that anything in the request might be 
in the logs (one of the reasons to use POST data for sensitive items rather 
than GET vars),  or the database.  Since most of us would use Stripe or a 
similar service for payments, that part shouldn't be around, but for a 
larger system the developer could have limited access to the database, and 
that limit shouldn't be subverted by the ticket.

There's a lot to discuss here, I think.
