Well, it could mean anything the protocol inventor intended.
Not all URI schemes are hierarchical in nature. This does not mean
they cannot use the / character.

Thing is that foo/bar in the example above actually is supposed to be a hierarchy consisting of the segments foo and bar according to rfc3986. But after having checked it closer, the comment in the end of chapter 5 seem to mean that is shouldn't be used and only is part of the spec to cover a loophole in rfc1630 the predecessor of rfc2396. So we shouldn't use it anyway.
