I think URIs are the right way to go, and one of the very few things PHP (though be it with PEAR) did right. http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db.intro-dsn.php It would be fun if we could just steal that design and build on top of it, for compatibility, but also because other people have already thought about it and proven that it works.
