Re: [whatwg/url] It's not immediately clear that "URL syntax" and "URL parser" conflict (#118) from Jasper St. Pierre on 2016-05-11 (public-webapps-github@w3.org from May 2016)

The WHATWG URL spec is designed to standardize URL parsing in HTML tags and HTTP headers, to provide semantics and interpretation to data in the wild that does not adhere to RFC 3986. It is *not* designed to replace RFC 3986 and the broader ecosystem of applications that use URIs.

Web content in the wild is already broadly not spec-compliant. If you do not have to interact with this kind of content, you don't have to care about the WHATWG URL spec.
