The problem, in my opinion, is that none of those are really part of
the actual document itself.

Consider a scenario where someone has saved a page locally, or is
viewing it through a cache such as Google's, it'd be a mistake to
infer the URL as C:\Temp\whatever, for instance.

These are edge cases, but worth thinking about.
