Stinky.

Freenet URLs should not include the server. The server is a
setting. Setting it in URL will confuse users, and makes as much
sense as having your Web proxy in the URL.

The URL is supposed to locate a piece of data. It is supposed to
decribe locater necessary to find that data. The node used to enter
Freenet has NOTHING to do with this. It doesn't even have to be an
Internet host.
