Re: [whatwg/url] Should file URLs have opaque hostnames? (#599)

I also found Microsoft's [naming conventions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/naming-conventions-for-computer-domain-site-ou#netbios-computer-names) for NetBIOS computer names. Unfortunately it doesn't describe exactly whether spaces are allowed (it's not an alphanumeric character which is explicitly allowed, but also doesn't appear in the list of disallowed characters). This ambiguity is also documented on Microsoft's page [NetBIOS Name Syntax](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-nbte/6f06fa0e-1dc4-4c41-accb-355aaf20546d).

However, [RFC 1002](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1002#section-4.1) has an example for the NetBIOS name <code>"FRED&nbsp;"</code> with the space at the end, which suggests that spaces are indeed allowed in the protocol at least.
