So, there are (probably more than) three cases when retrieving a local file
via Ajax:
<dl>
<dt><code>other-file.html</code></dt><dd>works, because the URL is
correctly assembled by Cordova</dd>
<dt><code>x-wmapp0:www/other-file.html</code></dt><dd>works, because the
Uri class used <a

seems to understand this kind of URL</dd>
<dt><code>x-wmapp0:/www/other-file.html</code></dt><dd>doesn't work,
because the <a
href="https://github.com/apache/cordova-wp8/blob/0f80d8802ce846f062d7bc343a0e46534bdbc7a9/wp8/template/cordovalib/XHRHelper.cs#L194-L205";>code</a>
I mention in my previous comment is not having an effect due to the fact that
the URL starts with the protocol</dd>
</dl>
Now, granted, the form ```x-wmapp0:/www/other.html``` may not occur much in
the wild, but performing URL calculations such as creating an absolute URL from
a relative URL are impossible when the URL scheme does not have a slash at the
root, because you cannot distinguish an absolute URL from a relative URL.
