Yeah.
Since smb connections are with IP through port 23, why can't this be possible:
smb://host.domainname|workgroup/
Who said that the host needs to be in your domain? (if it's nslookuped, it
could be from anywhere).

I agree that | isn't a good seperator, but dot should be reserved to
domain-names.
