Re: [whatwg/url] query state: Parser generates invalid URLs (#379)

It seems extraordinarily strange that we're not only giving developers the tools to create invalid URLs, but we're also encouraging other standards to _produce_ invalid URLs and pass them on to the rest of the ecosystem (e.g., over HTTP). In that case I'd question why we're calling such URLs invalid at all. At that point they're just "URLs produced by all software that follows the URL Standard", and validity doesn't buy us much.

I don't believe you can parse/serialize any string through the HTML parser and get invalid HTML, for example. (Maybe some edge cases exist, but these characters are hardly edge cases.)
