I suggest the following for the 8.2.6 release:
- revert the whole patches line
- at the parser level
- if scheme is not "file" or derived (e.g., "file+sys" or
"docview"), assume PATH is a correct URI and do not change
anything ;
- otherwise, if PATH is absolute and do not start with two or more
slashes, append "//" to it ;
- at the back-ends level, simply add "file:" if PATH is absolute and
use PATH otherwise.
I think it is sufficient for 8.2.6. We can still discuss if more
parsing is needed for 8.3.
WDYT?
