Windows has a well defined default protocol for accessing remote files on named hosts, and such URLs mostly work (they even used to work on Emacs IIRC until url-handler came along and started forcing them over to FTP). GNOME, KDE and others may also have mechanisms for dealing with remote file URLs that we could use.
