BIP 21: Allow empty addresses and query parameters
Empty addresses should be valid for compatibility with BIP 72. Empty query parameters should also be valid, since they are harmless, and clients already accept them. With these changes, bitcoin:?& would be a valid (but useless) URI.

Here, "qchar" corresponds to valid characters of an RFC 3986 URI query component, excluding the "=" and "&" characters, which this BIP takes as separators.
