Re: [whatwg/url] Restructure URL rendering section and add additional guidance (#434)

- <li><p>Other parts of the <a for=/>URL</a> should have their sequences of

- sequences invisible.

+ only enabled for secure origins). Otherwise, the scheme may be replaced or supplemented with a
+ human-readable string (e.g., "Not secure") and/or a security indicator icon.

+ <li><p>A leading <code>www</code> domain label can be omitted to simplify the host, except when it

Yeah, I wonder if we should generalize it given the `m` case you discovered.
