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

Interestingly, Chrome actually doesn't treat `file` URLs differently from `http`/`https`. That is, it allows _both_ percent-encoding _and_ IDNs in URLs:

```js
new URL('file://félicit ations.fr/test.txt').href // ⇒ file://xn--flicit%20ations-bnb.fr/test.txt
new URL('https://exam ple.com').href              // ⇒ https://exa%20mple.com/

```

That's certainly one way around giving file URLs special handling, but no one other than Chrome seems to support this…
