I think it is very desirable, but ONLY if the URL syntax is saved
EXACTLY as it is (may be wrapped, but not changed).
My reason: if it is exactly as is, it can be copied (from Emacs
buffer or from another application by cut&paste) and used easily.
If it needs tweaking, it does not worth the effort, and we may use
other, totally unrelated format (like Tramp's).
Because of the file name reading problem, I propose to prefix the
URL in something like "<URL:" (similar to RFC 1738 suggestion, see
<URL:http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt>).
Ehud.
