* ambiguity of / within FTP URLs: is it part of the 'get' or part of a
'cd'. Keith Moore proposed that / means a directory boundary, and that
other uses be escaped.
* telnet URLs: do they include rlogin, tn3270, telnet-with-local-echo
* news vs nntp URLs
* new kinds of URLs being proposed: whois, etc.
