Doube-Slash provide an implementation dependent way of handling a path

[reezer]

Since I saw that there is a lot of discussion regarding the ipfs uri scheme, especially using it locally on the FS I wanted to bring up an option that wasn't discussed yet and it probably belongs to ipfs/kubo#1678, but I cannot comment there.

As can be read up here, POSIX allows for a special implementation dependent // behavior. This has been and is being done in various systems, so it might be an additional option, when using a "local" file system.

(sorry, if this is the wrong place to mention this, or if I overlooked someone already mentioning it)

I am not sure this was taken. I'll point you https://github.com/ipfs/in-web-browsers/blob/master/ADDRESSING.md and close this pre-emptively as it is old and was left unanswered.. Re-open if needed.
