It wouldn't be a big change in the schema, but it would be quite a big
change in the clients because they would have a more complicated query,
and would potentially have to know which Share they were going to use
before they could select an SE, which could be inconvenient. In fact in
general it's impossible - you can't reliably reverse-engineer a SURL to
know which Share it belongs to, so given a SURL you couldn't tell if you
could read it with a given protocol or not.
