We only slightly disagree ;-)
A valid file url according to http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html is

fileurl        = "file://" [ host | "localhost" ] "/" fpath

which means it always has 3 / in it. Meaning file://xxxx.xx is not a 
valid file url. Which means that file url can't be relative. A uri can 
be relative, as 'xxx.xx' is a valid relative uri. But, it is only useful 
when resolved against an absolute one.


Hey, we should make entries to the yearly Squeak event calender:

Spring - license discussion
Summer = mailing list vs forum discussion
Fall - absolute uri discussion
Winter - ??
