What do other file managers do when trashing a file from a network
file system into the home trash? The spec is unclear on the intended
path format in this case, although it mentions that trashing over the
network is possible.

It is unfortunate if Emacs puts remote file names in Tramp syntax but
all other file managers use, e.g., URL syntax.
