Ok, so looking at the code from
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/classpath/classpath/java/net/URI.java?rev=1.16&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

It says it uses the regexp from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt Appendix B,
but, looking at that URL, they appear slightly different:

URI: ^(([^:/?#]+):)?((//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\\?([^#]*))?)?(#(.*))?
RFC: ^(([^:/?#]+):)?( //([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)( \?([^#]*))  ?(#(.*))?

I added whitespace to the RFC version for alignment clarity.  I know that the
backslash needs the escape, being in Java source code, but I don't know enough
about regexps to tell if the other differences are a bug with the regex or the
classpath regex evaluation code.  ?
