Fair enough, but then I also don't know how to proceed from here.

So you argue that you are right and RFC 3986 is wrong? It seems like a tough
position to take. RFC 3986 may be modern but it is just one out of a series of
specs out of which the first was published long before that. Also, IETF people
don't just invent things out of the air.

Right I understand, but we're all in that position! Additionally, just
providing a convincing argument would take this a long way and after being
convinced the actual writing of a patch for this would be a small thing.
