The intention is that with the following two lines
(setq tramp-unified-filenames t)
(require 'tramp)
you'll be able to say C-x C-f /ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file RET to open a
file via ssh and C-x C-f /ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file RET to open a file
via ftp (ie, EFS).
In principle, it would be possible to have Tramp invoke EFS via the
non-unified syntax /[ftp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/some/file, but I didn't implement
that.

Hm. Whether this is good or bad depends on your setting of
tramp-unified-filenames...
The term "unified filename syntax" comes from the fact that Tramp
filenames "look similar" to Ange-FTP/EFS filenames, and also that
Ange-FTP/EFS is treated like a Tramp method when you enable that
feature.
Compare /ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file
with /ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file -- sure looks similar.
Also, Tramp supports some abbreviations where it guesses the method
from the user/host components. For example, with unified filenames
enabled, Tramp will guess to use FTP when the user name is ftp, or
when the host name starts with ftp. So /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file is an
abbreviation for /ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file and
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file is an abbreviation for
/ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file.
I was trying to ask Michael what happens when you use
(setq tramp-unified-filenames t)
(require 'tramp)
and then use filenames like /ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file and
/ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/some/file.
