Re: [whatwg/url] Resolving relative `file:` URL strings without explicit base into URL objects (Issue #879)

annevk left a comment (whatwg/url#879)

The RFCs are not that relevant for our decisions here, but I think you are misreading them. In particular RFC 8089 appears to require that any `file:` URL scheme is followed by either `/` or `//` in its syntax section.

We also very much don't want to grab a base URL from the environment. That it has to be provided explicitly is a design decision that we can't really revisit well over a decade in.
