Thanks Ben; updated the page and included some good examples (checking  
them on firefox on windows and unix). I did learn something the \ 
\host.org\share syntax on win32 can be told apart from unix root "/".

The difference is five slashes - file://///host.org/share vs four  
slashes file:////dev/null

So I think I can remove the win32 specific test in DataUtilities  
urlToFile which was giving you grief in GEOT-2671
