As a career-long test dev I have to ask . . . how do you test all of that? Do you test all of that? You probably don't in practice.
Maybe I'm jaded. As a newly-minted SDET I once tried to test email addresses as defined by RFCs and eventually realized that I was trying to test adherence to standards instead of what actually happened.
My humble suggestion is to use a well-vetted URI-handling library and employ a combination of eyeballing it and some faith. (I hate to recommend faith but there you go.) And if there's not already a lib for that in Java (gotta be but I try to avoid Java) maybe some Java-head could write one for everyone . . .
