Thanks Justin. Just a couple more responses to responses inline below (but with lots of content that needs no further discussion removed).
A TL;DR for the WG is that I'd like to get some wider feedback on the question of changing the one-time-use condition on the request_uri from a SHOULD to a MUST.
