No, if the URL is file.
Example:
cat "hi there" > /tmp/a.html
eww file:///tmp/a.html

It is not obvious to me why.
For example, I've been using eww with off-line Common Lisp HyperSpec and
it works well. A key bound to hyperspec-lookup function will simply
open relevant local html file.
A dictionary could work like that too. Could you please describe the
problems, why eww is not the solution for that use case?
