I don't think it's necessary to be exhaustive or insure we have 'the most common' file URI consumers, as long as we don't miss the important platforms. As for determining processing rules: the first step is to look for documentation, and secondly to ask the implementers. Sometimes it's easier go get a response if we draft something that purports to describe an implementation (based on what we can tell) and then ask for review. Larry -- http://larry.masinter.net
