Actually, for what it's worth, we should NOT use internal:// or *any* foo:// patterns. Doing so, even internally, is a creation of what appears to be a new protocol, even though it's actually not. We should instead create a new URN, such as internal:node/4. Apple, in the past two years or so, I think, got flamed for using webcal:// for it's iCal application, where webcal was merely a file format, and not a protocol.
Path Filter (http://drupal.org/project/pathfilter) has been updated accordingly. From the README.txt ... Path Filter takes internal drupal paths in double quotes, written as e.g. "internal:node/99", and replaces them with the appropriate absolute http URL using drupal's url() function. Ray
