Small detail, maybe relevant, maybe not: RFC 3986 only describes the 
general syntax of URIs. It does not define individual schemes. The last 
time general URI syntax and individual schemes were described in the 
same spec was in RFC 1738, which is two generations ago (with RFC 2396 
in between).

Yes indeed.
