This does appear to be strange. appendAuthority will ignore any
authority in square brackets that does not contain a ':' . The internal
string representation of the uri will then parse without failure,
because parseHierarchical allows empty authority component as long as
it's followed by a non-empty path, query component, or fragment component.
I filed CR 7023363: "URI("ftp", "[www.abc.com]", "/dir1/dir2", "query",
"frag") should throw URISyntaxException", for this.
appendAuthority should probably treat [www.abc.com] as a regular
authority and this would them be caught in parseHierarchical and
URISyntaxException thrown.
