Apparently you grepped on something like "<file:.*". This triggers an
issue I've been wondering about a bit.

Would anyone know why some file references are wrapped in a "<file:" -
">" pair while others are not? The same thing can be seen with "http://"
links: some are wrapped in angle brackets while others are not. What do
these brackets (and the "file:" prefix) actually provide?
