To a network application developer, “path” is a domain[^1] term (RFC
3986 § 3.3) and any replacement would be surprising and hinder API
discoverability. URIs don’t even necessarily map to files, so the
replacement proposed above is, in addition, misleading.
[^1]: “domain” as in “business domain”, not “domain name system”.
Please consider “URI path” if you must disambiguate.
