"./foo/bar" is a valid relative reference, which can be resolved against a base URI that represents $PWD. User home directory and tilde expansion both, AFAIK, come from the shell, not the file system. I could add a warning that a relative reference that starts with "~/" (or "~username/") won't resolve against a base URI the same way bash would resolve an equivalent path; but since no other URI scheme special handles '~' is anyone going to find this valuable?
