This should take a string uri, an nsIURI, or an nsIFile, right?
Yes.
What's wrong with NS_NewChannel in nsNetUtil.h? Are you asking for a JS or C++ interface here?

It describes it at least as well as aSpecifier does. My other thoughts had been along the lines of aTarget or aThingieToLoad....
aWhatToLoad?
