Otherwise, we have to specialcase out all sorts of odd things, and

It's not quite *that* bad; the special cases are all lowercase, and cpan ids
are all uppercase.
Still, I think I agree that using an author or id namespace is better than
sticking cpan ids into the top level.
What about using the search.cpan.org notation for authors:
cpan://~fred/
Also, note that some author ids have '-' in them (NI-S), and
also numbers (eg, WIN32).
