RFC 2396 supercedes RFC 1738. Irrespective of that though the 
<scheme-specific-part> has to have at least one character in it, e.g. 
'myproto:a' is acceptable. However, it cannot be blank.

I do not see where they state that is the draft spec.

Yes, but I also suggested how it can be further improved with the addition of 
properties to the .protocol files. Adding "ValidFormat=smb://" and 
"AcceptableFormat=smb:" to the protocol files will make it very easy for use 
to convert "smb:" to "smb://" in the short uri filter. Perhaps something to 
consider for post 3.3 release...
