Research direction

Read the File API document alongside the linked IETF File URI scheme draft and compare their stated scope. Clarify their relationship in the relevant File API documentation, with the work complete when readers can understand whether the documents overlap and how they relate.

Description

non-normative/editorial change

Would it make sense to clarify the relationship with https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kerwin-file-scheme? it seems that there is some overlap in scope. But even if there isn't, making that explicit might help people to better understand the relationship of those two documents.
