This is correct - in fact I question whether URLs are appropriate for
Freenet keys at all since (and correct me if I am wrong) they generally
imply an indication of the "location" of the information, which is not
appropriate for Freenet (mailto:xxx style stuff might be an exception -
but are they actually URLs or just a kludge?).  I know they fit nicely
into the web-browser paradigm but if we are going to use something in
the URL-*style* then perhaps we should use a different term for them to
avoid confusion.

I am pretty agnostic about this although it would make a nice point!
