That is to say, some apps like to leave the hostname part off (or put
"localhost" instead of the real FQDN, both of which makes the safety
measure - which the hostname part in file urls *is* to begin with -
useless)

(the reason for the hostname part is so that clipboard and drag+drop
file urls that get drag+dropped *across hosts* are caught - they are
invalid across hosts, but "file:///foo/bar" would look perfectly valid
and could even clobber a totally different file on the other host! -
whereas if it were passed as "file://notme/foo/bar" it were clear as pie
that it's from the wrong - i.e. another - host)

(Sadly, gnome stuff has notorically bad support for the
"file://<hostname>/<path>/<to>/<file>" syntax, so ... maybe others too)
