That's a decent reference for URL parsing (although it's then odd that 
the method names state "uri", which is how this discussion started), but 
it's non-obvious from that how it parses non-URL URIs.

 From the RFC, I'm assuming you put the non-scheme component into the 
"path", but then the only valid operations are to get and set it as a 
single opaque unit, and it's *also* unclear from that reference card 
which of the path methods will do those things without trying to 
interpret its contents in some way.  (I assume 
encoded_path/set_encoded_path.)
