I think the point is that a URL is a generalisation of a file/directory
name.  And if we're going to introduce a new interface for handling
files, why not make it more general, and include resources located on
remote servers as well.  One problem with that is going to be how we map
the conventional file operations to operations on URL's, but I think it
is still worth considering.

Greetings,

Jacob
