mozilla, unlike emacs, is not an operating system.
You didn't get the Web 2.0 memo? If so, I truly envy you.
part of the difficulty here is you are trying to stuff different plan 9
concepts into a uri. command line arguments don't interact with
9p in plan 9. likewise, dial strings are outside 9p. putting them
all together is uncharted territory.
URIs are just hideous, but maybe this is not completely uncharted
territory, at least ken mentioned in some interview that he had been
thinking about a way to have a global (internet-wide) namespace for 9p
servers, would be nice to hear what he had in mind...
