No, the algorithm does not have to account for every possible bogus reference and maintain that bogosity. It only has to be consistent in handling the bogus parts. URIs that do not have authority components are not going to have any paths that begin with "//", period. There is no reason for the algorithm to jump hoops for nonexistent schemes. ....Roy
