Experimenting, it does let you omit the host and specify a port:
$ psql -d postgresql://:5433
psql: error: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5433"?
So the original syntax diagram is not wrong. We could add brackets
to clarify the repeatable part:
postgresql://[user[:password]@][[host][:port][,...]][/dbname][?param1=value1&...]
but I'm less sure that that's an improvement.
