So you're saying if I drop the icon of a file on another machine (is that 
how these file URIs with different host names will actually arise in 
practice?), that it's OK if the file selector opens a different file that 
happens to be at the same path on my machine?

Since I have no idea when this can actually happen, I have to limit myself 
to asking questions. I don't really have an opinion, because I can't 
imagine when you'd be able to perform a drag of a file URI for a file on 
another computer.
