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

I want to make this very clear.

For me personally this is in **no way** whatsoever about slapping anyones name onto anything. 

And it is **not** a copy, thank you very much. An immense amount of work went into this and it goes quite beyond what the WHATWG standard offers.

Chrome has by far the largest market share, but only passes ~70% of the tests. That number doesn't really capture the gravity of the situation, though; really, Chrome doesn't behave anything like this standard suggests it should.

It won't be more "final". In general though, this is very good input and @karwa, I also fully respect your position, I really do.
