You've also just lost decent autocomplete in IDEs, etc.

I think the URIs make sense for when you're in a context where such a thing might make sense (the PAX / ServiceMix Kernel example comes to mind), but to force people to mentally translate a model to a URI when they are thinking in terms of separate pieces is unnecessary just to save a few bytes.

The problem with this is two-fold actually,
The url representation currently doesn't encapsulate the other parts of the dependency declaration like optional or scope. Further, it is difficult to deterministically reverse a url like that back to the GAV components... we struggle with this often in Nexus when people have unusual artifact or group ids that make it hard for example to separate the group from the artifact,
or the version from the classifier.

My thoughts exactly !
