In implementing a general case client I'm all for this. I'm reluctant to  
push this for the conformance tester because it is a conformance tester,  
so I'd rather that end up in the spec first, but I guess to get it in the  
spec we have to nail it down. So, I see three options:

1. If the string doesn't start with http:// or https://, then prepend  
http://

2. If the string doesn't match match the regular expression "^\w+\:\/\/",  
prepend http://

3. If the string matches the regular expression  
"^[a-z0-9\-]+(\.[a-z0-9\-]+)+"), prepend http://

I think #1 is fine. If so, then we need to revise 6.1.1.

Yeah, I'm being anal-retentive, and I'm sorry for that, but I want to make  
sure that the documentation matches the running code. I've implemented way  
too many specs that were defined by running code.
