Comment 6 for bug 1447617

According to RFC 3966 (The tel URI for Telephone Numbers, http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3966), forward slashes after the scheme are not valid syntax. So QUrl’s parser is right to reject them. In contrast, GURL has a custom parser (based on third-party code from mozilla) which, for all non-standard schemes (kStandardURLSchemes), always considers the host empty.

We could probably write a custom GURL->QUrl converter with added logic to parse valid GURLs that produce invalid QUrls.
