RE: semantics of host field in http URI

Alas, some judgment is required.

RFC 2616 refers to RFC 2396, and will continue to do so
even when RFC 2396 is obsoleted by rfc2396bis.  When RFC 2616
gets updated, the update will be more complicated than
mechanically changing the references to point to the
(by then approved) RFC for rfc2396bis.
