Ok, you're right:

>>> urlsplit('cnn.com')
SplitResult(scheme='', netloc='', path='cnn.com', query='', fragment='')
>>> urlsplit('//cnn.com')
SplitResult(scheme='', netloc='cnn.com', path='', query='', fragment='')
>>> 

Although I see that nowhere in the documentation.  It seems to me that in the 
scenario most people are dealing with, where they are getting 'cnn.com' or 
'http://cnn.com' but don't know which ahead of time, this will be useless.  I 
don't see who would ever have '//cnn.com' without constructing that string 
specifically for urlsplit.

I would propose that '/whatever' becomes the path because it starts with slash, 
otherwise, it becomes the netloc and everything after the first slash becomes 
the path.
