Having both network API's and File API's is redundant. For that matter, the OS should just cope with url style filnames. You have exactly the same kinds of possible errors as when accessing a file on a normal file server.
I've done this for another package (read/writes FITS file, an astronomy format) and it's quite interesting the posibilities this opened up.
