First, I don't want to get into pissing matches about implementation dates
and what constitutes current practice, those are subjective areas at best.
I am working from a legacy codebase, some of it goes all the way back to
CERN lib and its hard to sort out what came in when.

Now, you make this point:
>>In any case, file URL's don't go across the network. If you are
referencing a
file URL, you are most likely in control of the filesystem and the utility
of
fallback locations is marginal.
<<

So, I guess I agree. This may not be so bad, and we will treat the "file:"
case as an error case.
