Why can't KIO be that VFS? If you mean kernel-level, then KIO is ruled 
out, but for anything else, it works just fine.

So, the KIO specs are out there. The protocol is well defined, not to 
mention the libraries. Why don't other apps use them? It boils down to 
asking klauncher via DCOP to start one and then use a normal Unix 
socket to send commands and retrieve answers.
