Roy,
The 'path' production appears to be redundant:
[[
path = [ abs-path / opaque-part ]
path-segments = segment *( "/" segment )
segment = *pchar
pchar = unreserved / escaped / ";" /
":" / "@" / "&" / "=" / "+" / "$" / ","
]]
-- http://www.apache.org/~fielding/uri/rev-2002/rfc2396bis.html#rfc.section.3.3
in light of the way a URI is defined:
[[
absolute-URI = scheme ":" ( hier-part / opaque-part )
:
relative-URI = [ net-path / abs-path / rel-path ] [ "?" query ]
:
hier-part = [ net-path / abs-path ] [ "?" query ]
net-path = "//" authority [ abs-path ]
abs-path = "/" path-segments
]]
I've done a quick search through the document and as far as I can tell the
'path' production is not referenced.
