This was the first point that stood out to me, too. Can IPFS IDs have some representation as a URI? I'm spitballing here, but I'd far rather see e.g. the existing %FILENAME% registry extended to support some format like ipfs://baBbysFirStIPFScOmMitId;foo=bar That still feels a little shoehorn-y to me, but more comfortable than buying a new shoe for each new storage protocol supported in future (magnet anyone? ;)).
