+/**
+ translates between external and internal URI references.
+
+ <p>Some URI schemes leave unspecified important aspects of how to interpret
+ URIs of those schemes. For example, it is unspecified for &ldquo;file&rdquo;
+ URLs how to map the byte sequences that constitute the path segments of a
+ &ldquo;file&rdquo; URL to filenames on a given platform: The UNO environment
+ always assumes that path segments of &ldquo;file&rdquo; URLs represent
+ UTF-8&ndash;encoded strings (which have to be mapped to filenames in a
+ platform-specific way), while other applications typically assume that path
+ segments of &ldquo;file&rdquo; URLs directly represent a platform's
+ byte-sequence filenames. This interface offers methods to translate between
+ such <dfn>internal</dfn> URIs (e.g., UTF-8&ndash;encoded &ldquo;file&rdquo;
+ URLs used within the UNO environment) and <dfn>external</dfn> URIs (e.g.,
+ byte-sequence&ndash;oriented &ldquo;file&rdquo; URLs used by other
+ applications). Typically, only &ldquo;file&rdquo; URLs are affected by this
+ translation.</p>
+
+ <p>Since the translation process is based on URI schemes, relative URI
+ references (that do not include a scheme) are left unmodified by the
+ translation process.</p>
