Right, the pluggable Loader spec [1] can keeps getting kicked down the road, and the Browsers haven't agreed yet on Node-style or non-URL-based loading. To the Browsers, URLs "just work" and is how they've always done things, and figuring out Node-like package boundaries or mapping package names to URLs hasn't seemed like a priority to them yet.
