3)Better integration for higher order protocols. I'd like to be able to open /http/servername/filename and be able to read that file from that server via http. Similar structures for ftp and other protocols. All these protocols do is process files anyway, why not make it easy for programs to get those files without writing a full http stack? These would probably an ability to make user mode filesystems, since we really don't an http stack in the kernel.
Check out FUSE (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/), which makes it really easy to make a filesystem out of userspace programs and libraries. Here is the page with several different filesystems (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems) based on fuse.
