Thanks Leigh,

That is a good idea, but I'd prefer a mechanism that
works across multiple languages.  After reading the
RFC a bit more, I was thinking something like this:

   type://language/the/package/path#classname

Examples:

Java's java.lang.String         type://java/java/lang#String
Python's win32com.client.genpy  type://python/win32com/client#genpy
Perl's Net::Ftp                 type://perl/Net#Ftp

Anything like this out there?  I did searching, but I don't
see any uniformed "type URI".  Would something like the
above be a good proposal?  

Best,

Clark
