Well the complexity of the protocol is to allow firefox to download
only needed part of the blacklist, without sending the url to google
and without downloading a huge list periodically.
All the information passed by firefox to google is which chunk of the
list it wants do download, this being determined by the beginning of
the hash of the url.
It would indeed be simpler to send the url.
