This is a placeholder for writing a specification on how /ipfs and /ipns paths are intended to work on HTTP Gateways and other Web contexts, such as ipfs:// and ipns:// in browsers with native, verifiable handler for these schemas.
This is not "just" writing down UnixFS pathing. Web Pathing is about defining a MVP subset of IPFS and conventions to ensure interop with the web.
This is not only about HTTP URLs for Gateways, but will also inform behavior of native ipfs:// and ipns:// (e.g. Brave, ipfs-chromium), which is expected to be the same on both.
