Furthermore, we MIGHT later want some URI support, so I don't know off the top of my head if there's a difference between fspath and urlpath but better separate it now. Later we can re-merge then if necessary.

There's a difference as a URL represents something different than a file system path (URI doesn't necessarily). Plus the serialized format would be different, etc.

Sure. URLs and URIs are more than just paths. I would expect urlpath to be different than url itself but if that's is a different discussion.

So, fspath for me. :)
