KURL doesn't normalize the number of slashes after the scheme

"http:apple.com" and "http:/apple.com" both load and display the incorrect URL in the URL bar.

"http:///apple.com" is converted to "http:/apple.com" for reasons I don't understand (maybe NSURL does this).

In IE, all of these loads fail. In Firefox, they are all converted to "http://apple.com". Firefox's behavior is better. For known hierarchical schemes such as http, the URL should be treated as hierarchical no matter how many slashes there are, and normalized accordingly.

Just a side note. This may also be related to file: URLs behavior. Last I checked (long ago), it seemed quite funky in Windows Safari.

KURL is gone, but we also normalize these correctly now.
