Hello Tom, others,

Many thanks to Tom for providing the pointer to the 'uri' datatype in 
RFC 6021. That suggests to me that one of the questions that should be 
answered is whether the decomposition is needed at all.

Also, with respect to the name, instead of 'ietf-uri', 'decomposed-uri' 
or 'uri-decomposition' may be more appropriate.

Regards,   Martin.
