After realizing an analysis, I think the PATH_INFO notation breaks the Object 
Oriented analysis which we have done,

          URI =   Object ? param=value & param=value & ...

because of PATH_INFO makes it more difficult to differentiate between what is 
object, parameter name, or parameter value.


PATH_INFO is more clear to the eye, however it is a lot less readable because 
it lost the notation: object, parameter=value

As usual, let me know any disagreement,
