Scheme Section 2 quibble

[Sean Conner]

It was thus said that the Great acdw once stated:
> I've got a minor quibble with the spec, section 2, paragraph ... 3(?),
> which I'll quote here.
> 
> > <URL> is a UTF-8 encoded absolute URL, of maximum length 1024 bytes. If
> > the scheme of the URL is not specified, a scheme of gemini:// is
> > implied.

  [ snip ]

  This has come up before [1][2], and as I have stated [3][4], the '//' is
considered part of the host (or at least, a marker for the host portion of a
URL) and thus, I think the wording of section 2 should be changed to read

	<URL> is a UTF-8 encoded absolute URL, of maximum length 1024 bytes.
	If the scheme of the URL is not specified, a scheme of gemini: is
	implied.
