Sounds fair enough.  I guess I just slipped into my
anti-URI-scheme-proliferation rant.  I still philosophically prefer to
keep file:/// for everything, but I guess as the underlying filesystem
layer doesn't provide you with any help, going out of your way to
preserve ideological purity for something that's internal is over the
top.

Nevertheless -- down with URI-scheme proliferation! :-)
