I think it’s the case that browsers will accept any 3986-conforming URI
that is within its abilities, i.e. http:, https: (and maybe ftp, etc?).
The WhatWG’s goal was to describe, accurately and interoperably, what
browsers actually do, thus it is highly likely that it accepts all sorts of
URL instances that are not 3986-conforming. and would be rejected, for
example, by REST APIs.
