OK, but this decision violates both the old and updated spec (and

revisited.
This cannot be rushed as it require detailed security analysis. Is there
any reason why you need to encode absolute file paths as relative URLs?
I assume the use-case discussed here will work if File::toURI or toURL
is used to create the file URL as it will have the "file:" scheme.
