Re: [whatwg/url] Base URL Windows drive sometimes favoured over input string drive (#574)

Yeah thats nice! (@karwa)

I found seven of your tests that are related to this very issue, and whose behaviour would change. Can I include them in my 'proposal' PR to the tests? I can also wait till your tests are upstreamed and adapt them after.

In summary, and to gather some feedback, my idea is to prevent the issue by not converting segments to a drive unless it **is** literally the first component (of the host/path in the input string). I think this is what people would expect, and it seems to be not far off from browser behaviour. If possible, @achristensen07, (and others) do you have an opinion about that approach? Since it will incur a few changes to Safari.
