It already does.  The Registry Information Model contains an attribute
called extrinsicURI which provides that location.  Since not all Managed
Objects reside within the registry/repository (the decentralized
repository model) this was deemed necessary.

Using URI's does constrain the values to resource identifiers and within
that larger set, one can use the Hyper text transfer protocol (no
control on version number however).  I assume that most of us will use
something like this:

extrinsicURI="http://www.mylocation.com/path/to/file.ext"

which explicity states the protocol and the location.  The method would
be assumed to be "GET" since that is how remote objects are retrieved.
