Description

The filesystem URIs on WP8, is not able to handle the resolve navigation a parent directory using a relative path, e.g.:
fileName = ../resolve.file.uri

Instead is taking ".." as the parent directory not as navigation to the parent directory.
The filesystem should be able to resolve the path to the parent directory and set root as the ultimate parent directory as well.

../resolve.file.uri

and

/resolve.file.uri

Should be resolved to the same file, setting the file system root as the last parent directory.

This:

root.getDirectory(//someDir/someSubDir, function (dir) {
dir.getFile("../valid.file.txt", .. );
}, ..);

Should result this:

"//someDir/valid.file.txt"

Navigation to parent directories should be supported.
