Looks good to commit. 

I'm not sure what you mean by "real". In what way is e.g. burn:/// less
real than burn:///folder/? trash:/// is even more similar to a real
folder in that it also persists on disk across reboots. 

I'd say, if you can get and put files in it and manage them like in
regular directories (rename, delete, etc) then they look like folders to
all outward appearances, and thus should be marked folder. I you use
this definition then fonts:// goes away though, since it does magic with
filenames and stuff that breaks renaming and deletion of some files...
