The "everything is a URL" concept is interesting. QNX uses pathnames in a somewhat similar way; programs with the privilege to do so can register to own some portion of the pathname space, and requests with such pathnames go to that program. The kernel has no idea what pathnames mean. This gets file systems out of the kernel. It looks like Redox is doing something similar, but not enough of the documentation is written yet for me to tell quickly.

To be clear, lead on intermezzOS, not Redox. I do some small editing to their docs but don't regularly contribute.
