URLs are used in cases where hierarchy is assumed.
I didn't see such use cases in your draft, nor in Stephen's. Maybe you'll put
them in your next proposal.
As Julian correctly pointed out, a generic URI will be used in
situations where the application will (correctly) assume that anything
in URI syntax that has a slash character in it will be hierarchical.
Thus a URI scheme that does not intend to indicate hierarchy MUST NOT
include a slash character in that part of the identifier.
...
I wouldn't say "MUST NOT". It's just it's a source of confusion that can
be avoided when defining new URI schemes.
Best regards, Julian
