Sounds good to me, although I think I would also rephrase somewhat the algorithm, à la: * the URI's scheme component is the same as scheme; and * if subdomains is false or if the URI's host component is not a domain name (as defined in RFC1034), the URI's host component is the same as host; or * if subdomains is true, the URI's host component is either the same as host, or is a subdomain of host (as defined in RFC1034); and * ...
