Originally uriParser code was written to handle only URLs, without RFC3986 in mind. Later I updated 
it so the logic became closer to RFC3986, but had to keep URI syntax components as is in order to 
preserve compatibility with existing code.

So I think if we go after strict RFC compliance, we should introduce a new unit and deprecate an old 
one.
