It's not an invalid URL, so I'm loathe to add a warning for something that you 
may be completely in the right to use.

But file paths with colons before the first slash are problematic. The following 
produces an invalid QUrl:

	QUrl u;
	u.setPath(":/foo");

but it suddenly becomes valid if you set a scheme:

	u.setScheme("file");
