One. as in http:/root/of/my/tree/etc ( == /root/of/my/tree/etc ==
//this.host/root/of/my/tree/etc )

two would look like http://SERVER/filepath (which would make life confusing)

  One or two slashes between file: and D: ? (I think two)
  
  Well, it would be time to amend  RFC 2396 with a standard definition
  (or maybe to put some 1st April RFC with other schemata!)
