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

@domenic

Premise 1: url.spec.whatwg.org defines that its goal is to obsolete and replace all other URL definitions.

Premise 2: the URL RFCs define URL syntax for all use cases, including parsing out of plain text, or in XML namespaces.

Premise 3: you state that the scope of the WHATWG spec is limited to basically only web browsing.

Conclusion: WHATWG is trying to obsolete and replace a spec with one that's far more limited in scope.
