XEmacs Groks file://path

On a whim, I just found out you can paste this into XEmacs' mini-buffer when you Ctrl-x Ctrl-f to open a file:

file:///C:/code/file-of-interest.html
It's nice to know XEmacs understands file:// URLs, and I expect this now falls into my recommendation as a best practice for user interfaces.

Unfortunately, XEmacs won't import a web page that way: you can't Ctrl-x Ctrl-f http://cnn.com and edit the news.
