[Bug 8207] Change definition of URL to normative reference to IRIBIS

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8207

Just a few notes:

- the new IETF IRI WG has started work, see
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-iri-3987bis-00; so that's what should be
discussed

- HTML5 currently refers to WEBADRESSES, which in
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/href/draft#resolving-urls, contains stuff that
shouldn't be going into IRIbis because of HTML dependencies:

"Otherwise, let base be the base URI of the element, as defined by the XML Base
specification, with the base URI of the document entity being defined as the
document base Web address of the Document that owns the element. [XMLBASE]

For the purposes of the XML Base specification, user agents must act as if all
Document objects represented XML documents."

This should be fixed ASAP, because it is (and has been for a long time)
blocking progress.

I recommend that we come to a consensus what the interface between HTML5 and
IRIBIS should be (who is defining what; for things like "resolving" what are
the parameters?). Once we have that, we should be able to move things forward.
