Re: [whatwg/url] authority state limits passwords outside of percent encoding (#294)

Hey, sorry about the state issue. I've corrected the issue to what state the problem, or maybe misunderstanding, lies.

The current algorithm expects a url such as:

`a://b:c#d@e` 

To be finished with `b` as the username, no password (I assume), and `c` as the domain. I don't believe this to be a correct use-case.

In order for the original example to pass the parser, you would have to just percent encode the password yourself to:

`scheme://root:pass%23word@example.com` in order for the parser implementation to not resolve the `#` as a switch to the hostname state.
