Make the 'navigate' step resolve URLs. Make the 'navigate' algorithm
more precise and correct and consistent, in particular regarding
fragment identifiers. Fix some xrefs in the 'navigate' algorithm. More
URLing. Add a placeholder for defining the term 'fetching'. (whatwg
r1799) (changed by: Ian Hickson)
