Yes, that's the recommended approach. The original URI will also be 
available in the request attribute "org.exist.forward.request-uri".

I stumbled across this problem before and decided not to change the 
current behaviour. XQueryURLRewrite relies on the servlet engine for the 
actual forwarding and the servlet engine does not preserve the original 
URI but changes it to the forward URI. I'm not sure if this is part of 
the servlet specs, but the behaviour seems to be consistent across the 
servlet engines I tried (jetty, tomcat). I would thus like to keep 
things as they are.
