POSIX/SuS don't permit this. The only "free" namespace is that starting
"//" (and not as some desktops seem to think foo://). Remember always
send GUI desktop users files called http://read.me  .. its fun 8)

The // doesn't really help because you don't want extensions at the path
top. 

Another interesting question btw with substreams of a file is what the
semantics of fchown, fstat, fchmod, fchdir etc are, or of mounting a
file over a substream.
