No, no one is asking you to do this.  URLs are fine, but I agree with
Kevin that parsing them in QEMU is better.

Also because the QEMU parser is known to be based on RFCs and good code
from libxml2.  For example, the iSCSI URL parser, when introduced,
didn't even have percent-escape parsing, causing libvirt to fail with
old libiscsi (and actually not that old too: IIRC libiscsi 1.7 will
still fail).  Unless the libnfs parser is as good as libxml2's, I think
there's value in using the QEMU URI parser.
