I'm -1 on platform-specific behavior (seems especially bad in contexts like HTTP servers and proxies).

I'm neutral on treating backslash specially vs. just treating all single-letter schemes as drive letters.

I'm +1 on addressing this in general. It would be great if full Windows file paths can be parsed as URLs as simply as passing them to the URL constructor.
