That again I can't read in the 2396 (no reference to "blank" or "at least" in 
the text). I just want to be sure we're rightfully rejecting smb: - so this 
is what I read in the RFC:

   An absolute URI contains the name of the scheme being used (<scheme>)
   followed by a colon (":") and then a string (the <scheme-specific-
   part>) whose interpretation depends on the scheme.

No mentioning that the string can't be empty.
