     * is to have one prototype URL with no host etc for each scheme,
     * another is to have an explicit scheme class, and then each URL class
     * could be a subclass of the scheme. Another way is one instance of
     * a URLScheme class instance for each URLScheme we support, and one URL
     * class for each manner of treating the scheme : a Hierarchical URL, a
     * non-hierarchical URL etc.
     \par
     * Deferring the decision, its a type code for now. RBC 20060507.
