Re: [whatwg/url] It's not immediately clear that "URL syntax" and "URL parser" conflict (#118)

That's a large question and too big of a subject for me to address fully here.

URLs in the loose sense of the term are used all over the place.

URLs by the WHATWG definition are probably not used by much else than a handful of browsers, no. In my view (wearing my curl googles), there are several reasons why we can't expect that to change much short-term going forward either. Like this slash issue shows.

I would love a truly universal and agreed URL syntax, but in my view we've never been further away from that than today.
