This would seem like a good idea.  But in the case of the untar
moniker, my guess is that enough internals about the handling of this
piece of data are required by the moniker handler to provide proper
caching and resource reuse to just use the gnome-vfs approach.

Besides, handling tar files is not really that complicated.
