Since the [a-zA-Z]:? is really mean to allow a ":" at the precise spot where
it tends to appear (after the drive letter in W32 paths), it might be better
to use \([a-zA-Z]:\)? so we don't allow drive letters to be digits or
accented chars.  But in the grand scheme of things, I think either way will
be fine.
