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

But then the syntax spec is pretty useless as it doesn't restrict URL generators (since they will output what parsers manage to parse) and parsers are encouraged to be "robust" and accept things that aren't in the syntax spec. A downward spiral into a world of tears.

So why is there a syntax spec? To explain how an ideal URL would look like?
