Hi Jason,
I believe that right now the above statement is no more valid... the
history of this is complicated and I'm not sure I remember it properly,
but believe it went like this:

   - Originally the system allowed any kind of string, allowing dynamic
   URLs of any kind
   - Then someone weaving a OGC labelled baton came and switched the very
   API to use URL, making it impossible to use addresses that were not a valid
   URl
   - After a while and seeing the issues it caused the "common sense
   brigade" fought back and added the pure string approach back, making it
   possible to use whatever address again (or at least hoping to do so)

So could you let us know, what is it that you tried, and that did not work?

Cheers
Andrea
