[whatwg/url] The web needs a stable definition of a Query Parameter in a URL (#617)

There are many, many APIs and network protocols that require the use of URL query parameters (`http://example.com/resource?a=b&c=d`). But I have not been able to find an authoritative definition of the term in any spec. Most URL specs go as far as definition the query part of the URL and its allow character set, but stop short of defining its use as a list of key+value pairs. 

It would be enormously helpful if a definition for query parameters could be added to the whatwg URL spec.
