Re: [whatwg/url] relative URLs (#136)

The key challenge with relative URLs is that the rules for handling them can vary significant based on what they are relative *to*. For instance `d:/foo/bar` means something very different when it is relative to `http://example.org/` than `file://d:/foo/baz`. Given the ambiguity, requiring at least some kind of base is preferred (in my opinion at least)
