i am mostly in favor of whatever rfc1738 says. though its not clear what <path> is. does "foo/bar" mean "/foo/bar" on disk ? or "<wherever you are>/foo/bar" ? its not so clear. intuition would say the former. however on pretty much any web browser ive used, a url such as "file:///somewhere/foo" means the absolute path "/somewhere/foo".
i sort of like the four-slashes thing since im just taking the data from the URL and going with no additional interpretation of it. just has a strange result not consistent with what we're used to.
