I hadn't been aware of this until you mentioned it earlier in the thread.

Indeed, I think URL versus URI is the crux of the problem.  We do need a 
UriResolver to be easily extensible to non-URL schemes, in particular URNs 
(most often UUID-based URNs).

It looks as if mxURL has some extensibility built in, but I don't see in the 
API how to plug in URN catalogs.

I suppose one could write a more general URI resolver and delegate URL-based 
schemes to mxURL...
