(last paragraph of Section 4.2)
A path segment that contains a colon character (e.g., "this:that")
cannot be used as the first segment of a relative-path reference
because it would be mistaken for a scheme name. Such a segment must
be preceded by a dot-segment (e.g., "./this:that") to make a
relative-path reference.
