Re: [whatwg/url] Provide a succinct grammar for valid URL strings (#479)

The technical issues are mostly solved. I'm willing to help, and I'm looking for some feedback about how to get started. 

I cannot just write a separate section because in one way or another it'll compete with the algorithm for normativity, (ao). That's a big problem and I think it is the main reason to resist this.

It also requires specifying the parse tree and some operations on them. That could use the (internal) URL records, but it will require some changes to them. 

My main concern is that these things together will trigger too much resistance, too many changes, and that then the effort will fail. 

What I can do is try to sketch out some approaches that could help to prevent that. I'll need some time to figure that out. 
I'm not sure what else I can do to get this going at the moment. Feedback would be appreciated.
