Re: [whatwg/url] Need an "unreserved" character set (and better define how to percent-encode arbitrary strings) (#369)

While RFC 3986 (from 2005) has tried to re-reserve `!'()*`, I think this should be considered a failed attempt, as the most popular encoder - `encodeURIComponent` - ignores this reservation. RFC 2396 (from 1998) has explicitely declared them as unreserved, and it's just impossible to reserve a thing that was formally unreserved for 7 years - and that other standards, like ECMAScript 3 (from 1999), were building upon.
