The way URLs are defined is:

	<scheme>:<scheme-specific-part>

so if somebody defines his "ssh" scheme to allow any random garbage, its
their URL and you cannot say "that is not an URL", unless you qualify your
statement with "I want to keep ssh scheme consistent with the common
internet scheme syntax".

As I think "ssh://..." is simply moronic, I don't even care to "keep" the
scheme specific part consistent with the common internet scheme syntax to
begin with.  I agree with your conclusion, though ;-)

scp syntax works just fine.
