+1. There are plenty of projects and tools I can think of that would want to use URIs without having any reason to bring in all of HTTP.

The reason I proposed that doesn't have anything to do with whether it makes sense for the URI code to live in that package in the long term. Instead: - HTTP is also already in the platform - HTTP uses this code - the existing Network.URI code is inefficient by design and cannot be improved without breaking user code - for backwards compatibility, we would like to have this code live on somewhere so that porting old code is easier.
