note possibility of implementation-dependent file: #28

( "file:" might need a special case pre-processor for the web, with the result translated/normalized.)

File may end up being implementation defined. Perhaps that should be listed as a possible outcome. See:

There might be a lot of ways of slicing the domains of interoperability, and perhaps something else other than "implementation" (platform x file-system-type) might serve the community better.
