  Hum, sine the file URI syntax is 
    file://<hostname>/<path>

 I doubt it's right.
    file:///<path> 

is on the other hand the accepted shortcut for 
    file://localhost/<path>

so 

    file:///C:/Files/Schemas/test.xsd

sounds right to me. In general I have yet to see a working implementation
where <hostname> is not localhost, maybe this is automatically mapped
to SMB or NFS protocols, but since this is not specified clearly I don't
see how this can work reliably. Clearly to me the FILE scheme needs some
explanations, if not a good rewrite (which I may have missed).
