if it handles 9p: scheme, it better be 9p, not some dialect based
on implementer's (mis)understanding of it. browser plugins, by virtue of
what they plug into, have a potential to spread fast. it will not serve
anyone if a popular derivation becomes a de facto standard for 9p.

I think that this is silly. 9p is a protocol that presends a
filesystem, just like ftp, file://, smb://. Would it make sense
to use wsftp://, gnomefs://, samba://? The URI scheme should
signify the interface, not the implementation.
