[whatwg/url] why are backslashes accepted for slashes? (#346)

I've recently learned that several modern browsers accept backslashes in the URL and treat them as if they are slashes. `Location: http:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\example.com` is considered a fine absolute URL in an HTTP response and will redirect to `http://example.com`.

Can you please point out where it says that's how WHATWG URL parsers should act? I can't find it.
