Correct, but not an issue. At least not in Rails applications. And when 
it is, just don't use the hack.

Correct, but I don't think you need more than one domain in 99% of all 
Rails apps. In case you do, don't use the hack.

Hm, I don't understand fully, but again, if it doesn't work with the 
hack then don't use the hack.

Aren't these all good points to just make it a feature?

I will have to look into that. Will let you know what I think about it. 
Might be another week or two though since I am working on some legacy 
PHP client code at the moment :(
