Rails - Jul 2006 - Different URL generation in regular and named routes.

Obviously I am missed something, but why the way a path is generating 
using named routes is a little bit different from using regular url_for?

1. Parameters from current request did not affect named routes, the way 
it is in the url_for.

2. only_path=>false by default in named routes. It is true by default 
whe using *_path instead of *_url, by why not to set it true by default 
in *_url and get rid of two practically identical methods?
