Just on the hierarchal vs. opaque issue - this was the spec bug that 
came up in the other thread. We've just fixed it for b145. The fix just 
changes the wording to make it clear that the returned URI is absolute 
(meaning it has a scheme). It's only the default provider where the URIs 
are required to be hierarchal. Hopefully this makes things easier for 
you to plug in some of your existing URIs (under covers anyway, I don't 
think these should be exposed to users of the API).
