>=20

Well it could be supported.

In my opinion the URI system is far more powerfull. For instance, if I=20
want to store db login/passwd, etc in a config file it is not so trivial=20
to handle Connection types. URIs can be easily stored in config files,=20
all the informations (db type, login, passwd, db name) reside in a simple=
=20
string.
