I proposed

1b: /named/$FILECAP/$MAGIC/FILENAME

where MAGIC="@@name="

You are not allowed to do it with DIRCAP+PATH, only with FILECAP, and  
you *are* allowed to have children named "@@name=" in your Tahoe  
filesystem.

I want 1b more than 1, because it makes it clear to a user who looks  
at only the end of a URL (like me) that "welcome.txt" is web-browser- 
name, not a Tahoe filesystem name.

How does that sound?
