RFC 2396 section 3.2 (Authority Component) says: Many URI schemes include a top hierarchical element for a naming authority, such that the namespace defined by the remainder of the URI is governed by that authority. This authority component is typically defined by an Internet-based server or a scheme-specific registry of naming authorities. So this is talking about URLs whose authority component is defined by an internet server (host + port, in practice). -Boris
