This document provides a more complete specification of the "file"
Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme and replaces the very brief
definition in Section 3.10 of RFC 1738.
It defines a common syntax that is intended to interoperate across
the broad spectrum of existing usages. At the same time, it notes
some other current practices around the use of file URIs.
This document is a product of the ART Area General Application Working Group
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
