Well, on my Mac "weapons\Cajuns.htm" would be "weapons:Cajuns.html", so
it's broken already. ;) Besides, my computer and I are non-violent!
Seriously, relative URLs are already in use, browsers use user-configured
helper applications, and URNs are coming. Do none of these three mechanisms
suffice for the usage you have in mind? Remember you can also set up a
custom protocol, which itself could incorporate the structure you seek, and
that structure could invoke a parser utilizing your naming scheme. (That
wasn't very clear, was it -- well, you get the idea.)
