Well, file:// is very entrenched, and I suspect most file:// scheme
handlers don't implement a full 2396 parser - so updating 1738 in this
regard would be problematic.

Well, if both the client and server sides can handle the parameter, then
both sides must generate the same result. If not, then the parameter is
not adequately specified.
