Comment(by sjamaan):

 This has been fixed in trunk.  Please give it a try.

 I didn't really know what to do with the "//foo" case: strictly speaking,
 this can't be subject to the scheme-based normalization rules of section
 6.2.3 (RFC 3986), because we don't have a scheme.

 On the other hand, this egg already makes some hard assumptions about the
 type of URI (for example, it assumes the query part *must* be form-
 encoded, as key/value pairs) so perhaps this wouldn't be so bad?  It would
 be breaking with the spec, though.

 Because I wasn't sure, I kept the behavior the way it was (ie, (uri-path
 (uri-reference "//foo")) returns '() instead of '(/ ""), making it
 inconsistent with cases where we do know the scheme).

 Perhaps we should be checking that the URI really is a common URI (ie, has
 a known scheme listed in default-ports), and failing otherwise?  This
 would be obnoxious but possible and prevent more errors being made, but
 might cause some problems of its own.  Gah!
