You're right, in Qt4 you can, but in Qt3 you can't. In Qt4 QUrl is
really a URI!
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.0/qurl.html#isValid

When using Qt4, all 3 URI's are seen as valid. It is beta software
though.

A nice example of nested URIs is the Active URI specification:
http://www.1060research-server-1.co.uk/docs/2.0.2/book/advdev/doc_guide_compoundURI.html
 http://www.1060research-server-1.co.uk/docs/2.0.2/book/introduction/doc_intro_concepts_requests.html
 The goal is not completely equal because the URI's are named and typed,
which isn't necessary for the kioslaves. The choice of separators there
is ' ' and '+'. Important remark: "In order to be valid a URI a
compound URI must be carefully escaped."

This format is similar to
multi:file:///home/me/file.zip,zip:/file.tar.gz,gzip,tar:/file.tar.bz2,bzip2,tar:/file.txt
 which, more generally formulated is
multi:{escapted_uri},{escaped_uri},...
I think this is the most elegant solution. One could argue about what
delimiter to use.
I'm in favor of the pipe.

Would it be possible to make a piping kioslave for KDE3? Instead of
starting from file:/home/user, you could then start from
'multi:file:/home/user'. In KDE4 one could then extend the behavior
such that the linked URI can be a multi: automatically, when needed.
