file:/// URI validation seems incorrect?

Currently, the URI validator does not support file:///path for a local path. It does seem to support file://path; but this is technically wrong (though a common mistake): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme

If host is omitted, it is taken to be "localhost", the machine from which the URL is being interpreted. Note that when omitting host, the slash is not omitted (while "file:///piro.txt" is valid, "file://simpen.txt" is not, although some interpreters manage to handle the latter).

Since this is a validation library and not just an interpreter, would it not be preferable to enforce the specification?

Hi @alcohol

it seems like a legit case. I’ve been working on the validations based on the JSON schema test cases. So it would be very likely that there was no such test case and that is how this could have been overlooked.

If you could make a PR I’m available to help with the review and merging/releasing.

Will do; though with all the festivities right now it might be a few days before I will have some spare time available.
