Thanks for the clarification. That sums up the things. I seek a concensus on a need for a "Abreviated URL" handling function. Do we need this in urllib.parse/urlparse library? In that case the specifications of how this function should behave will need to be defined by us. One advantage I can see is, when people provide "abbreviated url", then the result of parsing it into path and netloc would be proper as per their (common held) expectations.
