  Oops I rejoiced too fast apparently, I see no update or improvement
to the definition of the file protocol definition :-\
  I also really wonder if Microsoft tools would be made compliant to
a new revision of that draft, that would be the only way to be sure
that all implementation actually converge in the end, and somewhat I
have doubts that they would drop support for
    file://c:/sgml/uriincl/uriIncl.xml
 or file:/c:/sgml/uriincl/uriIncl.xml
if the new file scheme definition remained in the spirit of the old one.
Actually file has never been implemented as a protocol, even 1738 warned
about this, really this should be defined as a special scheme using
the opaque_part derivation of absoluteURI if one want to get something out
of a redefinition.
  I'm still pessimistic about this,

Daniel
