If I've understood you correctly, your suggestion
is that, to make
logging easier, we should adopt a convention of how we call certain web
resources.
I'm not so much suggesting it as I am stating the status quo, and
asking whether we should document it well or change the code.
I can't imagine that you will ever be able to get
all the programmers to
agree not to use URLs that way. It's not like we can mark the URL as
being dangerous somehow. As long as the URL works, they'll want to use
it... and really, why shouldn't they?
And they did. See

Never before did we load JS through a special page

the resource loader coming up it will never be needed ever again,
cause we can and will run everything through load.php . It's a
one-time anomaly, so no need for any convention.
I guess I'm not quite so confident this problem won't rear it's head
again, but since it's a theoretical problem at this point, and we have
enough actual problems to deal with, I'm happy to drop it for now.
