It's not odd, but it's also not really acceptable in situations where a
data source can't be represented as a URI.  Example: Pure Oracle
connection data (not aliases) can't be easily represented as a URI, so
by saying that the source be anything implementor specific, you allow
for every possible wacky address.  Then, if we want to implement our own
products using a URI pattern, then so be it.  I just don't think it
should be a requirement.
