Well, we can begin the section after the // with a character that's
reserved according to the URI RFC.  If a docname wants to use that character
it would have to be %-encoded in the URI.

Also, I can't see why anyone would ever need to deviate from using the value
of the epoch as the baseline.  And increment has a reasonable default.  So
the only thing that needs to come after the // is something indicating that
it's a DBR, possibly followed by ,increment or even ,increment,baseline.
