That text is woefully vague. For example the only conformance criteria in the
definition of "resolve" is "these parsed components may then be recombined",
which isn't even a requirement (it's a may, not a must).

I'm looking for something which is unambiguous, absolutely clear, precise, and
explicit about how two incoming Unicode strings and a character encoding are
turned into a single Unicode string. Currently this simply isn't present in the
detail needed to interoperably implement URL resolution in the face of
erroneous URLs. Ideally this would mean a set of steps introduced with a MUST
requirement, which can be blindly implemented with little thought, with no
interpretation needed.
