NO.

The canonical, full form is file://localhost/usr/doc/HTML/index.html.
See lynx_help/lynx_url_support.html#file .

The form file:/usr/doc/HTML/index.html should also work (although it's
undocumented), but your 'improvement' is definitely wrong - you are
telling lynx to look for a host named "usr".
