It is an excellent idea if URI extends Collection. Collections like 
squeakland, temp directory etc. could be defined as separate name spaces like 
home://, tmp://, squeakland:// and map entries to pathnames at run time.

Imagine begin able to load projects with:
     squeakland := URI namespace: 'squeakland'.
     project = squeakland / 'featured projects' at: 'brule.pr'.
