Bindings outside of "java:" will not be backed my MSC services as we 
have no way of controlling what is bound and when.  We certainly could 
support binding outside of "java:" but it's not really clear what the 
semantics (or use cases) are.

I examined the example app and didn't find the lookup reference you're 
referring to, but wouldn't it be a relative lookup regardless?  Unless 
they specified a URL scheme in the first segment that is?
