Comment:
Tahoe "URI"s are specific to a particular grid; without that piece of
information you have no particular way of knowing how to access the
referenced object. Including the host/IP information as a hint in a
tahoe: URI is useful, but they're only hints; they can become invalid
without the underlying objecting being invalid.
I think, therefore, a tahoe: URI must include some kind of unambiguous
grid identifier so that it uniquely globally identifies a particular
object. Some kind of connection hint may also be useful, but that seems
like a layering violation (since IPv4, or IP in general, is not the only
possible transport for Tahoe).
I guess this is related to issue #403.
