(Disclaimer: I have not seen gnomevfs
for very long time).

You might want to use mc's convention,
where you have /#ftp:ftp.gnome.org/.
You can't really bring http into picture
as http does not have a notion of directory
listing.

You can't really have
/network-servers/ftp://ftp.gnome.org, as
it would mean that pressing UP arrow in
it would put you into /n*s/ftp:. Ouch.

Also mc has sane ability to work with
archives. tar:bar/baz/baf.tar/foo is not
reasonable syntax; /bar/baz/baf.tar#utar/foo is.
(Because if bar is tar archive and baf.tar
is normal directory...)
