>From C.2 Abnormal Examples :
...
"Some parsers allow the scheme name to be present
in a relative URI if it is the same as the base
URI scheme. This is considered to be a
loophole in prior specifications of partial URI
[RFC1630]. Its use should be avoided.
http:g = http:g ; for validating parsers
| http://a/b/c/g ; for backwards compatibility"
So it's arguably OK, even if not encouraged.
However there is also an implication there that
not supporting it is OK.
