Aren't URLs with the "file" scheme just like those using other schemes 
(such as "http") in that two forward-slashes are needed before the 
hostname (presumably optional for "file" URLs), *then* another slash is 
needed to start a path? Certainly, various Web browsers used to get 
quite upset if I tried to access a file like /home/me/myfile without 
writing it out as "file:///home/me/myfile", although I imagine other 
tools have been more tolerant.
