+## Why doesn't this work with http.Handler?
+**It does!** The router itself implements the http.Handler interface.
+Moreover the router provides convenient [adapters for http.Handler](http://godoc.org/github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter#Router.Handler)s and [http.HandlerFunc](http://godoc.org/github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter#Router.HandlerFunc)s
+which allows them to be used as a [httprouter.Handle](http://godoc.org/github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter#Router.Handle) when registering a route.
+The only disadvantage is, that no parameter values can be retrieved when a
+http.Handler or http.HandlerFunc is used, since there is no efficient way to
+pass the values with the existing function parameters.
+Therefore [httprouter.Handle](http://godoc.org/github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter#Router.Handle) has a third function parameter.

 ## Where can I find Middleware *X*?
 This package just provides a very efficient request router with a few extra
 features. The router is just a [http.Handler](http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Handler),
