Is there a common URI syntax? I remember vocal debates about everything
to the right of the scheme tag being "opaque"... Are you indicated that
you believe that all URI-class objects will have a common syntax that can
be applied prior to scheme recognition?

(I don't mind the change, but would rather not have capricious changes to
meet potentially non-existance consistency belief...)
