Yes, this info could be exposed to app writers with a simple API (eg
gnome_vfs_module_get_list and gnome_vfs_module_get_info or something
like that), this would allow apps (eg nautilus and a potential gnome-vfs
enabled filesel) to know which methods are available, to decide which
ones they are interested in, and to display these methods in a
user-friendly way (this would be better than the current "oh, I can
access to ssh servers using ssh:, I didn't know that"). The tricky part
might be to decide which info is necessary so that apps can do something
useful with it.
