I didn't say FQDN.  Just a domain name.

Those 4 characters are valid as a hostname, which can be used unqualified in a URI, e.g:

brong@zula:~$ sudo vi /etc/hosts
brong@zula:~$ wget http://http/
Resolving http (http)... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to http (http)|127.0.0.1|:80... failed: Connection refused.

But this doesn't mean that URI schemes and hostnames are identical, just because they can contain the same characters.
