I meant "parsable usefully". Trivially, you can turn any string into 
a private "scheme specific part". "data:" and "urn:" aren't usefully
parsed into the generic URI syntax, since they don't use
//, /, ? as delimiters.   so your syntax will "work", you just wouldn't
use the generic parser's ability to tease out an attribute value list
from a syntax delimited with ?a=b&c=d&e=f
