Thanks for the clarification. That sums up the things.

I seek a concensus on a need for a "Abreviated URL" handling function. Do we
need this in urllib.parse/urlparse library?

In that case the specifications of how this function should behave will need to
be defined by us.

One advantage I can see is, when people provide "abbreviated url", then the
result of parsing it into path and netloc would be proper as per their (common
held) expectations.

Anything else?
