I think it can be added.
If we're specifically talking about URIs that specify paths , then, \
-> / for handling of improperly-encoded URIs is good.
However, we can't specify this for all URIs (just saying). Flipping
raw backslashes (even though they should really be encoded) in <a
href="mailto:uridata";> for example, should not be done.
If we do specify this, we have to be more specific than "path" because
'path' does not necessarily mean URI.
