The URI implementation first tries to build an internal string
representation of the given components, then parses this string to
determine if it is valid. I think we should change appendAuthority to
treat [www.abc.com] as a regular authority and this would then be caught
in parseHierarchical and URISyntaxException thrown.

Let me try this approach and I'll get back to you.
