Dave is correct -- the only conflict between the Committee Draft 01 ABNF and
the URI/IRI ABNF is in the first segment of the path.

Dave, have you looked at the Analysis section of
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14487/draft-xri-2-cd02-abn
f-v1.doc?

I don't know what the old reason was last spring, but this analysis made me
comfortable with the proposed revision.

We shouldn't overstate this problem. Empty paths are allowed everywhere
except for the segment immediately following the authority. In other
words, xri://@example/foo///bar is legal, only something like
xri://@example//foo/bar is not.

There was a good reason for this, but I just have to remember what it
was...
