LocalFS wraps all the file types that is knows about in the proper Zope 
object. It's really easy to find out: make one, load up some files, and 
mouse over the resulting icons. Or write a script that calls 'meta_type' 
on the contents.

Fetching the URL for files wrapped in a LocalFS should behave the same 
as for any object in a folder.
