I was discussing this with someone, and they pointed out that this is an
odd way of doing things.  In HTTP, you do:
    http://user@domain/path/
or even
    http://user:pass@domain/path/

Your reason is presumably because the username/password is determined by
the service, not the host -- but this is also the case for HTTP.  Some
paths may require authentication, some may require none.

I can see arguments both ways.  I'm not sure which way is better, but if
you are claiming similarity to existing URLs, you may wish to consider
this...
