I don't know if it works with two slashes by chance, but ...

Yep, it's "file://host/path...", and if there is no host given,
then it's the local host - as far as I understand it. Should be
easy to test, but what is the most portable way?
.. and citing Wikipedia from your link above:
Note that when omitting host you do not omit the slash
("file:///foo.txt" is okay, while "file://foo.txt" is not,
although some interpreters manage to handle the latter).
