Note that we're also no longer overriding the source formatter or the icons for new pages, since we can supply that on the command line in the script that generates output.

- 1. The URL is parsed into scheme, userinfo, host, port, path, query and
- fragment components. (Not all of these members are necessarily present.)
- 2. The scheme, hostname, and port if present, are converted to lower case.
- 3. Percent-encoded values for

- converted to their unencoded forms.
- 4. Additionally URL percent-encoded values for characters in the path
- and with numeric values larger than 127 (i.e. not ASCII) are decoded.
- 5. The resulting path is checked for invalid UTF-8 sequences, consisting
- of surrogate pairs, illegal byte sequences, or overlong encodings.
- If this check fails, then the entire URL is considered invalid.
- 6. Path segments consisting of `.` and `..` are resolved as per
- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-6.2.2.3[RFC 3986 6.2.2.3].
- 7. Further, empty path segments are removed, meaning that duplicate

-Note that steps 4, 5, and 7 are not specified by RFC 3986, but performing
