Description:
------------
FILTER_VALIDATE_URL doesn't actually validate a url. It passes the url

through parse_url (which according to the documentation is not meant to

validate a url). When tested against a test set this can be seen.

Instead of this method PHP should use a regex or some other method to 
actually validate it. See
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/valid_url/6

for an example that is to RFC 3986.

I would hope for PHP 6 we can have it look for a valid IRL (with 
international characters) as well.
