It would make parsing a file name easier. I suspect using the "/:" syntax was motivated by a smooth migration from ange-ftp to Tramp. One could tell people, that they should set tramp-default-method to "ftp", and they wouldn't need to change anything. That's more than a decade ago. Don't know, whether Emacs users are ready to change to "/::". And a default method like "/::" is not applicable, because "/:" is used for something different. > Stefan Best regards, Michael.
