No, the problem with colon is that DOS, Win or MacOS Classic all use the 
colon as part of their pathname syntax.

I was thinking about using a URL-like syntax, but decided it was a bit 
ambiguous: does

	tftp://192.0.2.1/foo/bar

... mean

192.0.2.1::/foo/bar

... or ...

192.0.2.1::foo/bar

Otherwise, how do you generate the second syntax?
