Why not name it a "URL" (with brethren URI's: URCs and URNs) and inherit 
the benefits of the intense amount of work being done to make UR*-space 
and HTTP scalable and efficient?  For efficiency/portability there could 
be a mapping done in the header of a Java file between a class name and a 
URI.
