And that's a tiny fraction of the overall ecosystem for URLs. The focus on just latest versions of just browsers is myopic and if continued throughout this standards development will doom it to be just another standard on the pile.

I think WHATWG is better than that and the standard deserves better than that. It's a good idea to do this, but this is a bad approach.
