I don't really like the scheme, because it is not the normal way a URI
works. The above URI actually does not point to a device, but merely
informs how to search for a device.
The above URI could *point* to a modem device like this:
for the serial port 1,
bnci:modem://localhost/serial/1/
or
bnci:modem://localhost/pci/0F4/
if the modem is internal on the PCI bus...

The parameter indicator question mark ('?') should, IMHO, be used for
parametric information only, such as:
bnci:modem://localhost/serial/1/?maxspeed=57600&parity=none
> device:ParallelPort?port=0
Again, this could be like:
device://localhost/devices/ports/parallel/0/?bidirectorial=true
for isntance...
