/**
* URIs are essentially structured names for things -- anything. This interface
* provides accessors to get the most basic components of an URI.
* If you need to change some parts of the URI use nsIURIMutator.
* Subclasses, including nsIURL, impose greater structure on the URI.
*
* This interface follows Tim Berners-Lee's URI spec (RFC3986) [1], where the
* basic URI components are defined as such:
* <pre>
* \ / \ / \ / \ /\ / \ / \ /
* - --------------- ------ -------- ------- --- -
* | | | | | | |
* | | | | FilePath Query Ref
* | | | Port \ /
* | | Host / ------------
* | UserPass / |
* Scheme / Path
* \ /
* --------------------------------
* |
* PrePath
* </pre>
* The definition of the URI components has been extended to allow for
* internationalized domain names [2] and the more generic IRI structure [3].
