Just to be clear: I think the level of specification in this document is 
appropriate and a "full" specification would be intractable.
 
But it would be useful to be just a bit more explicit about the things that you 
should figure out before implementing (about what other implementations do on 
the same platform).

     It’s a tiny thing, but where the abstract says “replacing the
    definition in RFC 1738,” one may be led to think (I was) that 1738 has
    a more robust definition than it does.  D’you mind changing that to
    something like this: ‘This document provides a full specification of
    the "file" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme, replacing the
    very brief definition in Section 3.10 of RFC 1738.’

s/full/more complete/

A “full” specification of file: URIs might include a set of platform 
and file-system specific implementation advice about how to handle 
file naming, variations in Unicode normalization, case sensitivity, 
and so forth.
