 What is the format of remote host specification? 
We don't have that yet, as we don't have any file handlers for that yet.

 Erm, what else might they be? 
Remote-host specifications :-)

 Do we need that last sentence?  If it's rationale for *why* we don't
 invoke file handlers, it doesn't belong in the docstring.  Maybe in a

I'll be happy to strike that sentence before pushing.
