So I'd suggest one thinks about reusing the URI logic

And back to the main topic here... aren't URL's fairly well generalized? Are they not the right way to fully generalize locations?

Yes, I think they are, our code just has a lot of legacy use of Filename (in VW). �But I think there are still some pitfalls with URIs...one that I can think if is having a good means of efficiently reusing connections as you interact with a URI and still keep your client code blissfully unaware of where the actual data associated with the URI is coming from. �That can get tricky especially as you consider that some connections aren't stateless (like FTP connections).
