No - I dont think the URL needs to distinguish. The ftp access program may
need to be able to distinguish - and lookign at the Gopher->Ftp gateway
this is a real pain to do. But we shouldnt expect someone trying to figure
out the URL for a resource to know this information.

Exercise to the reader - which way is the ftp at *your* site!
