The added complexity of allowing virtually any input is going to come

$page = HtmlDocument::parse($str);
$context = $page->getContextUri();
foreach ($page->getLinks() as $href) {
$link = new Zend_Uri($context, $href);
}
If $href is a full URI it ignores $context.
Java may have some bloated libraries but Sun's URL class seems well
