Well, that syntax actually also doesn't work because both base and incr
are optional ;')
Please don't overestimate the difficulty of parsing another delimiter :)
The nice thing about making the DBR define the docname right there is that
you can then leave out the docname and have a _short_ URI like:
freenet:SSK at asdf,DBR=$$//
freenet:SSK at asdf,DBR=$$//index.html
freenet:SSK at asdf,DBR=$3600$//freecam.html
