So "!tld.domain|type" would be used for a Java 'tld.domain.type'. Yes.

So "!protocol:whatever|type" would be used for URI based names - like the
HTML one.

The simplest would be to use one of the above. Remember that 'type' may
contain any chatacters (except '!'), so writing "!org.cpan|Net::FTP" is a
valid name under our rules. And a nice one, too - using '|' make it look so
much better than using '.', and better expresses the intent.

Right. Well, I;m going over the syntax sectionm especially the transfer
