[whatwg] URL: "relative" file URL starting with "c:" quirk

[Anne van Kesteren]

Both Chromium and Internet Explorer treat

  <a href="c:/test">...</a>

in a file served from e.g.
file:///C:/Users/Anne%20van%20Kesteren/Desktop/file.html in a special
way. The resolved URL becomes file:///c:/test (uppercase C in
Chromium) rather than c:/test (note that c: is a valid URL scheme) as
it does in Gecko.

Is there a good reason to preserve this quirk?

(It seems the uppercasing of drive letters is a Chromium-specific
quirk that just needs to die.)
