But IMHO it would be better if it were info:/Foo/Bar, not with > the double slash, conforming to the Generic URI syntax in RFC 2396. KDE's konqueror support these kind of URLs for browsing info files. info:/dir info:/am-utils/Top info:/am-utils/Supported Platforms etc. (It supports lots of extremely nifty URL schemes. A google URL for instance; just type `gg:ding' to Google for ding. No imdb: URL though, but it's configurable so it's trivial to add.)
