The RFCs on URI syntax are notoriously woolly, but the new java.net.URI
class in JDK 1.4 makes a serious attempt to implement them correctly.
And it decides that the file
\\machine\share\dir\file.xml
is addressible using the URI
file:////machine/share/dir/file.xml
The older java.net.URL class does not appear to support this mapping.
