Our general policy is to use the capitalised version of acronyms (ie.
URI rather than Uri), but there are many exceptions to this in the
libraries already.  But sometimes the capitalised version looks ugly,
especially when it occurs in the middle of an identifier.

I'm inclined to agree with Sven here.  Graham?

perhaps stringToURI instead of parseURI?

Yes.
