Read my other mail.
The problem is how does Xend communicate the file->id mapping. It's gotta do this over the control channel which puts the length of the filename to 60 characters unless you support continuations.
That's not extraordinarily difficult but annoying enough that it makes just fixing the loopback device appealing.
