Count me out. 3986 as published leaves no room for doubt that the ABNF
is normative, and the ABNF requires what is elsewhere called the "scheme
delimiter", that is, ":".
Two quotes from 3986 may help reinforce this point:
"The URI syntax defines a grammar that is a superset of all
valid URIs"
"The complete URI syntax is collected in Appendix A."
