Yeah, that's what I thought. I tried briefly on Thursday to get it to
parse user info and host, but I never managed to bend Spirit to my
will. I found a pretty solid-looking project --
http://code.google.com/p/uri-grammar/wiki/About -- that does it, but
it involved more customizations than I'm comfortable with at the
moment.

Not sure. Next is my last week of parental leave, then I'm back to
full-time work with a little girl in daycare, so spare time for
hacking may be scarce. And given my velocity up till now, it might
take a while :) But I'm learning...
