  20. URLs aren't required to be a slash-separated hierarchy of symbolic
  21. elements, it's just that relative URLs don't work with the ones that
  22. aren't.
  23.  
  24. # If a namespace wants to define such a structure, that's OK.  URLs (on
  25. # the other hand) do imply this structure across all non-opaque URL
  26. # schemes.
  27.
