Personally, I think it would be better named DBIx::dsnURI or URIdsn .. or something in that area .. you get the idea ...

argument1:
PEAR might be the first place i've seen URI like DSN's .. however, its based on a URI , for which there is an RFC .. (1630 for web or 2396 for generic) ... PEAR did not invent the URI ... so i think the name of such a module should be based on URI

argument2:
as a non PHP developer ... by looking at a module name which says URIBasedDSN (whatever), I have a hint to what its about .. with PearDSN i wonder "whats a pear?"
