No, it's primarily for people that just want a loosely coupled arrangement
or that are dealing with vhosted entities like Drupal systems that
constantly churn endpoints.

Endpoint checking is not specified by the standard. All the profile says
is that you must do it. How you do it is not specified, except for one
mechanism, metadata. Dynamic parameters in the URL are not supported by
that mechanism.

However, just because something isn't strictly invalid doesn't make it
smart. It's not new information that doing this kind of thing is very
inappropriate if you want things to work.
