Good point.
Bill, we missed this one yesterday! DAMN!

Ok, a call for better examples, broken down by OS in the docs.

Your syntax is definately wrong. A local file on a Windows machine
should be in the form:
<A HREF="C:\temp\index.html">Link</a>
not
<a href="file:C:\temp\index.html">Link</a>
or
<a href="file://C:\temp\index.html">Link</a>
The first version is correct, since it is a local file. Strapping
the file:// protocol specifier on it misleads the parser. Remember, this
is a *PARSER* not a browser, so there's no need to put the file://
inclusion on it. Unix and Linux are going to need a slightly different
syntax, but the same logic applies.
Then again, I don't run Windows, so I could be totally wrong on
that platform.

Other people who have Windows have no problems with it. I agree,
the parser has some areas where code can be tweaked a bit more, but the
code in Url.py for the most part works.

Definately!
