That means you can have URIs that contradict the generic syntax: file:///top_level_directory?perhaps/name.xml In which case I was wrong (maybe). It goes on later to say: 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>. which might be interpreted to mean that ? and # are allowed as part of the component names, and NOT to indicate query parameters and a fragment id. in which case I wasn't wrong. This is surely the case for the ftp scheme, since the optional ;type=<filetype> comes at the end, so I think this is the intended representation.
