Otherwise, I intend to > make "file:" and "file://" strictly equivalent and always local. Common bugs in applications and misconceptions of some users notwithstanding, an URI should implement: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986 You may find that your proposal (IIUIC) is violating that specification. The only instances a file: URI refers to the local file system is if the authority (host) part is missing or the local host is explicitly given as the authority.
