Hi Martin,
You should be right in the terminology. I derived the name of the tag from
the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse method:
public java.lang.String encodeURL(java.lang.String url)
// Encodes the specified URL by including the session ID in it, or,
if encoding is not needed, returns the URL unchanged.
But I don't mind to change it to <rewriteURL>...
