Okay, from this I gather that scope functions almost like a mask
on NBT broadcasts, attempting to mimic a routed domain hierarchy.
I know "." isn't allowed in a machine name, but what about a workgroup?
If not, adapt the workgroup browsing syntax to this:

smb://workgroup[.scope]/

Simple, compliant, and makes sense too.  Again, once we have a machine
name, this should become irrelevant.

Of course, if "FOO.BAR" is a valid workgroup name, this won't work.
Where is the RFC on the NetBIOS namespace at?  ;^)
