What is the purpose of the "freenet:" notation? (Besides complicating
things.)

When I try to "wget -r -np" a freesite, most links will not be fetched
-- namely those that still use the ubiquitous "/USK..." url. (Because
-np, --no-parent, is meant to only fetch files within a particular
directory and not ascend to other parent directories, thus preventing
the fetching of the entire Internet.) So because /USK..
and /freenet:USK.. are effectively two different parent folders, simply
using "-np" won't work.

Instead of "-np" I have to explicitly list the key in both notations as
parameters to "--include-directories" .. resulting in a hideous command
line. (Which includes the USK key 3 times.)

I wouldn't mind doing this if there was SOME reason for it? (Was it
meant to be used as a protocol identifier, like http: mailto:, etc?)
But is it really necessary to "301 Permanently Move" queries to the
freenet:* links?
