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

@karwa There are many organizations involved in web standards including IETF for HTTP and QUIC, W3C, ISO, Unicode consortium and many others. Each has its own way of managing changes but few "do" living standards.
And if the "primary goal" of the WHATWG spec is to describe "how browsers behave", that leaves out the myriad of non-browser applications that process URLs.  The concern about "where it lives" and "who maintains it" is a concern about the narrowness of focus to "browsers" alone. I was happy to see recent consideration of the needs of Node.js and curl.

There are very few undocumented overlaps besides URLs. It might be premature to include @alwinb 's grammar in a standards-track RFC but I think Experimental might be appropriate.
