URLs are already sufficiently flexible. You can run a dedicated HTTP server for http: schemes or use a file: URL for local files. To reference sub-file objects you use the #fragment notation. You'd only need a different scheme if you want URNs for info manuals such that Emacs could check for one installed locally and then go out to some canonical location on the web if not found.
