There are requests to allow entering protocol relative URLs in the URL datatype. We need to discuss this.
I would recommend STRONGLY against supporting protocol-relative URLs, as they are meaningless without a base URL that's specifically known to be related to the target URL. (For example, "//google.com/" is more or less meaningless to a document loaded via "file:" or "ms-appx:" or "app:" or ....)
You are right.
