Section appendix B says:

^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?

It should say:

/^(([^:\/?#]+):)?(\/\/([^\/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?/

Notes:

A Regular Expression is delimited by the slash ("/"). Within it a slash should be preceded by a back-slash ("\").

Peter: This also applies to RFC 3986.
