As I wrote upthread, RFC 3986 is the latest version of the standard for
URIs.  But it's a multileveled matter, because in the simplest instance,
a URI is

scheme:something

(compare mailto:), so in theory almost any URI can comply.  But now that
I read it once again, since our "something" starts with "//", we are
bound to the more specific syntax defined there, and that makes our
current implementation just plain invalid on the matter that I
complained about in my earlier message.
