I'm not sure it's a disconnect; instead, it just looks like we
disagree.  That said, with more details about the use case it might be
possible to sway me in another direction.

To maintain the URI analogy: the URI does not tell me the content-type
of what I can access from there.  Until I know that content-type, I
may not know what the best tool is to access it.

The root of the disagreement, though, is "Git URLs" looking like a URI
in the first place.  They're not meant to be universal at all.  They
are specifically for Git.

Thanks,
Jonathan
