My thought here was that without an overriding need for a URI immediately, it 
might
be worth spending the time consolidating the protocols first.  They're not very
different in the first place.  Then cvs:// could mean connect to port 2401 and 
ask
what authentication methods are valid.  The server would respond with a list and
the client would use whatever it thinks is the most secure to authenticate and 
set
up an encryption stream.

I'm thinking :ext: would still need its own URI prefix.  And probably :local:.
pserver, gserver, and kserver are almost identical except for the auth methods,
though.
