OK. New proposal.

On nsIFileProtocolHandler:

	nsIURI readURLFile(in nsILocalFile file);

nsIURI is not really what the two current callers want... (my new caller 
does want it though) however it seems like a better idea to me - darin 
keeps saying that string representations of an uri are lossy :)

and it's easy to get a string from an nsIURI.

This method would throw NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE on platforms not 
supporting url files, I guess. I prefer not to use NOT_IMPLEMENTED 
because that sounds to me like it would ever be implemented. I can use 
it though if people want me to.
