I think this is still up to debate. I've put up a poll among the IntCERN developers to get feedback what people like, i.e. pick one of /dev/file/$options:/$path, /dev/file@$options/$path, /dev/file#$options/$path 72 (out of 407) people voted so far, 19 for the first option, 44 for the second, 9 for the 3rd.
