Re: [whatwg/url] Proposal: file: URL separator deduplication (#552)

RFC 8089 lists two cases, which doesn't play well which separator deduplication, see: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8089#appendix-E.3.2

> **E.3.2. <file> URI with UNC Path**
> ...
> Non-local files:
> * The representation of a non-local file with an empty authority and a complete (transformed) UNC string in the path. For example:
>   *  "file:////host.example.com/path/to/file"
> * As above, with an extra slash between the empty authority and the transformed UNC string, as per the syntax defined in [[RFC1738](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1738)]. For example:
>   *  "file://///host.example.com/path/to/file"
> This representation is notably used by the Firefox web browser. See Bugzilla#107540 [[Bug107540](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107540)].

If I understand this proposal correctly, then separator deduplication will change their meaning, as they become:
`file:///host.example.com/path/to/file`
