Actually, RFC 3986 draws a distinction between components having the empty string as their value and components having no value at all, for instance, `http://example.org/?` has a defined but empty query part, while in `http://example.org/` the query component is undefined. Here in particular the idea is that with URI = [scheme ":"] ["//" authority] [path] ["?" query] ["#" fragment] all the components are optional, but only the path component matches the empty string (meaning `path`, unlike the others, is always defined). -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
