std has a tiny and weak URI library. It's tiny and weak because URIs are so free and open. But 99% of the time, the URI I'm dealing with is a URL, and URLs are much more narrowly specified.

I've written http://code.dlang.org/packages/urld, but this sort of thing really belongs in the standard library.
