URI style isn't transparent. Ideally, a program shouldn't need to
know whether it's talking to a poe thingy or a stem thingy, so
everything up to the colon gets in the way.
I'm partial to kernel/session/event, where kernel/ and kernel/session
can just be left off if they're not needed:
kernel/session/event
session/event
event
There's only one reserved character, and the number of fields in the
address determines how far away its destination is.
I think it scales, too:
universe/galaxy/solarsystem/planet/cluster/kernel/session/event
Oh, this is just a bang path in disguise. Whee! "/" is a little
easier to type than "!", anyway.
