AaronSw: Malamud said something similar "Why the two slashes in http://? At the time, nobody was sure that TCP/IP would make it. So, the idea was that you could put a protocol name inbetween the slashes, such as OSI or Appletalk. The default was TCP/IP, but just in case something else conquered the world, you could simply spread the slashes and put another protocol in the middle."
