Is there some reason you guys chose this format over something standard,
like http://path/to/repos;version/path/to/file? I don't see the need
for this "special URI" thing.

"What about semicolons in path names?" I hear you say. Well, as I
understand it, semicolons are required to be escaped if they are part of
the path. The whole point of the embedded semis is that they aren't
escaped, and can thus be seen as special.
