<pre><code> It feels like dancing around the problem. Some file URIs are not local

<p>I fully agree with you.</p>
<p>I have been thinking about adding a way for <em>accessor</em> to say whether or not they are in the “network” category of accessing entities. The problem is of course, as you say, that there are resources that might look like local entities, but are actually (for all intents and purposes) remote.</p>
<p>It would however make the implementation a little more robust, by simply not queriny for <em>accessors</em> that are known to establish, as an example, <em>TCP</em> connections.</p>

<li>Do you have any additional thoughts on how to address the issue?</li>
