[issue8818] urlsplit and urlparse add extra slash when using scheme

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

How would you expect urlsplit to differentiate between a relative path and a path with a netloc?  I would think that most people would expect the semantics the module provides without reading any additional documentation.  I certainly did, to the point where when reading your example I didn't even notice that there was any problem report other than the misnaming of the scheme keyword :)

You could suggest a clarification to the docs if you like.
