Shouldn't throw some event out to its caller and have the calling
application have the first shot at resolving the URI.  Even if it is a
traditional URL, the application may know that a copy is available locally
and substitute it for actual resource.  If the caller doesn't want to handle
the event, then the parse could try to resolve it the best it could.
