I'm comitting them as-is, but I'll make some comments below.

1. The URI module should be documented with some background and
   examples.  This is a good place to provide a roadmap, enabling
   readers to see some structure and purpose amonst the mess of
   classes.

2. There's little or no need to give the methods the full "synopsis,
   args, description, usage" treatment, although it does look
   professional :)  The drawback is that it takes up a lot of space.  But
   still, full credit for providing lots of information.

   Still, in some cases, like URI.join, the description doesn't have
   enough detail.

3. There are a few English and formatting errors which I'll correct
   when I have time.  This is not a criticism!

4. In URI::HTTP, I'll remove the "Description" headings as they are
   too prominent in the output, and are redundant, anyway.


All in all, a fantastic base to build upon.

Thanks,
Gavin
