Well, RFC 2396 obsoletes RFC 1738, and that had (in section 3.10):
The file URL scheme is used to designate files accessible on a
particular host computer. This scheme, unlike most other URL schemes,
does not designate a resource that is universally accessible over the
Internet.
A file URL takes the form:
file://<host>/<path>
where <host> is the fully qualified domain name of the system on
which the <path> is accessible, and <path> is a hierarchical
directory path of the form <directory>/<directory>/.../<name>.
RFC 2396 did not update that special part. So I guess one could argue for both
variants, file:///... and file:/... .
