are file nodes always local relative paths?

[pketh]

reading the spec, I 'm unsure whether file nodes are meant to be relative local path references to files on the user's own machine only, or are they also for remote files with absolute urls too? eg (https://cdn.kinopio.club/71ta143mwPRfinHf9t-ML/kaomoji-palette-main.zip)

This also applies to url in link type nodes. The spec should reference RFC 3986 for resolving URI references and allow both absolute URLs and relative URI references in both file and url.

[pketh]

the tldr of RFC 3986 is that if the url starts with http:// or https:// it can be considered a web url ?
