perhaps i don't understand the srv² proposal, to which there
are many parts, but part of the problem seems to be finding
a service.  generally this is mediated by /net/cs.  i wonder if
thinking of it that way might help?

by definition it must be.  the rule is this:

type	is	text
data	matches	'Local (.*)'
plumb	to	none
plumb	start	rc -c $1

it executes the mount in the plumber's namespace, which is
helpfully shared by rio.  (Local in acme is interpteted by
acme, not sent to the plumber.)
