No it't not. The RFC is explicit in stating that URLs using the file:
schema can have two forms:
file:///path
file://localhost/path
(that is, the host name part must be either empty or "localhost"). We've
supported both in the past, therefore we should support both now.

And file://///machine/path.

The form file://machine/path violates the RFC if machine isn't "localhost".

But they're closer to being valid URLS according to the RFC.
