Re: [whatwg/url] It's not immediately clear that "URL syntax" and "URL parser" conflict (#118)

@JohnMHarrisJr I want to be careful not to go too off-topic here since there is already a considerable amount of comments.

> I don't see how the use of $_COOKIE has anything to do with the ability or inability of PHP to handle a given cookie.

The summary of the problem is in the [link above](https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie/blob/f2b25713e8fae658d418b60710adc0e0d14998d9/SERVER_SIDE.md#php). For more context, see [here](https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie/issues/70). 

The point is that focusing all the efforts of a spec only in the browsers can have unintended side effects. That specific cookie case happened probably because nobody went deeper researching the current state of each ASCII character support outside the browser-land at that time.
