Re: [whatwg/url] Allow ports in file URLs (#548)

> It is true that most file URLs won't have it, and I'm not sure what anything would do with the port, but I don't see a good reason to forbid it and fail parsing.

I mean, this was forbidden in RFC 3986 (and it's predecessors), as captured in the history discussed in the update for RFC 1738, [RFC 8089, Section 2](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8089#section-2)

Allowing ports here would be a greater fork from the IETF, and it'd be great that we only do that if/when we have principled reason. Do we believe Adobe Lightroom is still affected, as mentioned in the [WebKit change](https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/24484/webkit)? We haven't seen any incompatibilities from Chrome
