BTW:

I'm missing a REQUEST variable that represents the URL requested by the 
browser.

'PATH_INFO' doesn't show the virtual URL:
'/VirtualHostBase/http/example.org:80/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_test/path/to/object'

'URL' might be changed by __before_publishing_traverse__ or 
__browser_default__:
'http://example.org/test/path/to/object/index_html/view'

So I think it would be great if VHM would add a variable like 
'REQUESTED_URL' (should have a better name) that isn't further modified 
on traversal.
'http://example.org/test/path/to/object'


Just my 2 cents.
