It's unclear if any HTTP channel clients ever set originalURI != uri (about:credits?); it's also not clear if chrome channel would ever need to know.  So we may be able to eliminate the argument.

Some extensions sure do.  But those would be in the chrome.

HTTP redirects do, but those happen in chrome too, right?

.url/.desktop files pointing to http:// URIs do, I would think.  Where do those happen?
in general, as much should work in the child as possible. if we've got a profile that says this moves the needle, then reassess.
