(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.
