Re: [whatwg/url] Editorial: improve the URL parser (#488)

@domenic commented on this pull request.

I couldn't really tell how this impacts the algorithm since there were so many editorial changes, so I just reviewed the definition parts.

-<p>Within a string-based parser algorithm that uses a <var>pointer</var> variable,
-<dfn>remaining</dfn> references the substring after <var>pointer</var> in the string
-being processed.
+<p>When a <a>pointer</a> is defined, <dfn>c</dfn> references the <a for=/>code point</a>

What does "defined" mean? My first guess was "not -1", but reading the rest of the paragraph that doesn't seem right...

Maybe this is trying to say something like "each pointer has a c, which is a reference to the..."?

+being processed and <a>pointer</a> points to @, <a>c</a> is U+0040 (@) and <a>remaining</a> is

"pointer points to" seems a bit strange; should it be "a pointer" or "the pointer"?
