Comment (by ctweedie):

 Tim, your description sounds fine so long as you test explicitly for
 particular parameters (service,version,request) etc. while not stripping
 out important ones. Even though most onlineresources are "clean" enough,
 as you mentioned the following usecases you should make allowances for ...
 (some are obvious)

 1. ArcIMS v4/9 WMS services typically have an additional "ServiceName" KVP
 to define the ArcIMS service.

 2. UMN Mapserver by default attaches the "Map" KVP

 3. Geoserver, from memory, will attempt to detect its port its running on
 and dump it to the onlineresource. I've had the same problem you mentioned
 regarding servers attaching :80 to the string

 4. Demis' Web Map Server has a "WMS" KVP to define individual services

 If it caters for those 4 you would have stiched up most servers :)
