Oh well. Are you really believing this?
RFC2396 and RFC3986 define what a URI is. They do not and don't need
to say anything about things which aren't URIs.
It's been well known for some time that the URI and IRI RFCs do not
correctly or sufficiently describe the way user agents must process URIs
for compatibility with the Web. This is a bug in the RFCs.
For the record: I totally disagree. It's not the job of the URI and IRI
RFCs to describe how a user agent has to handle things that do not
conform to the RFC3986/3987 syntax.
On the other hand, if there's a problem with syntactically correct
URIs/IRIs, please be more specific.
