What was the vfsmemory problem again?
Or what do you suggest - apart from the below idea?

I don't think we should abuse file protocol too much.

Sure, but like I said, that's too specific detail.
For some internal - cross-bundle - communication we should use bundles (actually its ids),
and leave the impl details to framework.

e.g. although this is not standard, osgi devs do use it quite a lot to find resources across bundles
