Yes, I think Richard hit on this earlier.  If you are trying to browse
the workgroup, you need a way to specify it, but once you know what
server you wish to access, the workgroup becomes irrelevant.  Likewise,
you don't need to have a way of specifying domain/user:pass when simply
browsing the workgroup, so there it no conflict there.

The only possibilities I can see needing are:
(known server)    smb://[[domain/]user[:password]@]server/[share/[path/]]
(browse workgrp)  smb://workgroup#
(browse default)  smb://
