a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier).
For information about URIs, see
-\urlref{RFC 2396}{http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt} or
-\urlref{RFC 2396.bis (Updated draft of RFC 2396)}{http://www.gbiv.com/protocols/uri/rev-2002/rfc2396bis.html}.
+\urlref{RFC 3986}{http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt}.
In short, a URL \em{is} a URI. In other
words, URL is a subset of a URI - all
acceptable URLs are also acceptable URIs.
+wxURI automatically escapes invalid characters in a string,
+so there is no chance of wxURI "failing" on construction/creation.
+
wxURI supports copy construction and standard assignment
operators. wxURI can also be inherited from to provide
furthur functionality.

+\membersection{Deviations from the RFC}\label{deviationsfromrfc}
+
+Note that on URIs with a "file" scheme wxURI does not
+parse the userinfo, server, or port portion. This is to keep
+compatability with wxFileSystem, the old wxURL, and older url specifications.
