Description
The java.net.URI classes refers to RFC 2396: Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax, amended by RFC 2732: Format for Literal IPv6 Addresses in URLs. 

But RFC 2396 and RFC 2372 have been obsoleted by RFC 3986.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt

The URI class should be updated accordingly.
Comments
At a minimum it would be good to document how the implementation differs from that required by RFC 3986
