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

Why is BNF-ish more RFC-ish expression not preferable over plain English for producers?

The thing is that BNF works for defining rules for producers, because error handling isn't needed for the rules for producers, but doesn't work for defining rules for consumers, because BNF doesn't do error handling but rules for consumers involve error handling.
