KDE is not an OS platform... (And neither is Gnome)

Well, what's missing? It shouldn't be so hard, the format of the URLs are 
well-defined by RFC 1738, and all the protocols I can think of have 
standardized names (maybe in RFCs too? I'm too lazy to check, but this is 
really a minor issue to fix...).

As for non-KDE applications, you could either have a tiny FUSE-frontend, or 
maybe just get for example Dolphin to automatically mount stuff when launching 
an application that doesn't handle URLs in a particular dir (with FUSE using 
kio_fuse, for example). This should be in the users experience pretty much 
exactly as GVFS currently does things, wouldn't it?

Or I could go on with my plan to port coreutils and bash to kdelibs/kio. :-D
