Sounds good to me.

My only concern is that by using two filters with almost similar names, 
but different behaviour might cause people to have weird problems 
because of old documentation, and they will revert to the mailinglist 
when things aren't working.

Make sure this is documented very clearly in the docs and the FAQ, so we 
don't have to answer this question again and again.

Using another name as the "main" filter name for the old behaviour might 
help making it more clearer, and maybe only make the url filter name a 
synonym which is not used in the documentation. Maybe the filter name 
should be 'uri_param' or something similar, to show the intent of the 
(broken/old behaviour) filter more clearly.
