Sorry, what I said is wrong. The single character 'type' is only optional when
asking for the top-level selector (like gopher://gopher.floodgap.com). In all
other cases it is mandatory.
There is one thing that still confuses me though. The gopher URI scheme says
nothing about a '/' between the type character and selector string. So both
gopher://gopher.quux.org/1/Archives and gopher://gopher.quux.org/1Archives are
valid gopher URI's. But do these two point to the same resource? Both bucktooth
and pygopherd seem to think so, but I can't find a reference for this in the
RFC's.
