TAG Review Feedback for File URI Spec (Work in Progress)

Version under review: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-file-scheme-02

General comments

There hasn’t been – to this point – a document that describes how the file:// scheme works, and for that reason this is a good document. We are glad to see that the document specifies how to convert between file URIs and OS-dependent system filepaths.

Limitations

Regarding the use of file:// URIs on the web, there are a few issues that need to be resolved for interoperability:

  1. How does file:// fit into the web's origin model?
  2. How does retrieval of file URIs fit into Fetch?

This document does not address any of these issues, so we hope to see future work that does.
