Personally I'm quite happy to ignore the dateline part, since it means that without it avatars can be used anywhere on the forum without an extra query.

Then what is the point is using the dateline in the URL ? I am thinking about the following scenario: a user is changing his avatar but the old avatar appears on some pages because of caching and the user might get confused.
