I realized I left this sub-thread hanging. While I think you've overstated your
argument in several places, I do recognize that combining URL's and module
names that look like paths into one syntactic space is confusing.
But really, there was no real need for loading directly from a URL in the first
place, since it's better practice to use an abstract name and configure it to
the URL you want anyway. (If people really want the additional convenience they
can configure the loader to accept URL's.)
So the right resolution for this question is: the browser loader recognizes
logical modules names only. No URI's, no URL's, just logical module name paths.
If a particular module name needs to be loaded from a remote URL, you can use
the ondemand configuration to map the logical name ("jquery") to the URL
("http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js";).
