So, I’ll bite, why does this syntax interfere with?

If anything, because IPv6 literals with Zone IDs are contained within
square parentheses “[“,”]”, therefore determining the authority should be
easy.

Example:

Please explain how it interferes with determining a URI’s “authority”
component.

Thanks
