The main objection against a file:/// URI to be used as a namespace name
is that it doesn't offer any guarantee of uniqueness needed precisely by
namespace name to disambiguate vocabularies. file://example.com/foobar is
fine in that respect. Actually that's a good way to make sure nobody is gonna
attempt to retrieve a resource there since file:// doesn't specify the protocol
used for access ;-) (one more problem in that file: URL scheme !)
