What, exactly, would that be relative to?  If your original document 
is not being accessed as a "file:" URI, then you don't have a base 
path under that scheme from which to reference relative "file:" URIs. 

The path that happens to be within the "http:" URI can't be presumed 
to have any relevance to the local system's file structure as 
accessible by "file:" URIs.
