Re: Official Response to ISSUE-138 from RDF Web Apps WG

Hi Manu!

I absolutely accept this decision.

However, I suspect that the proposed regexp misses some edge cases,
which I have reported to Shane. I've proposed this alternative:

    (([\i-[:]][\c-[:]]*)?:)?(/[^\s/][^\s]*|[^\s/][^\s]*|[^\s]?)

Which I *think* is ok.

My test code for this can be seen at <https://gist.github.com/2506955>
(this also needs more eyes on it to confirm that it is setting the
correct expectations).

Best regards,
Niklas
