I'm probably not familiar enough with URI details, but this seems like an 
issue to be kept in mind. Whether a program derives a URL or a user enters 
it, there might be two slashes instead of one, a slash missing from the 
end, "www" missing from the hostname etc.

I think libraries usually keep URIs in the string format, so changes 
should happen only if the URI is derived for some reason.
