The reason I proposed that doesn't have anything to do with whether it
makes sense for the URI code to live in that package in the long term.
Instead:

   - HTTP is also already in the platform
   - HTTP uses this code
   - the existing Network.URI code is inefficient by design and cannot be
   improved without breaking user code
   - for backwards compatibility, we would like to have this code live on
   somewhere so that porting old code is easier.
