Re: [whatwg/url] Support relative URLs (#531)

@alwinb: [The specification you wrote][URL spec] is beautiful. (And definitely deserves more recognition.) If you have the time, I think you should consider sending some pull request to incorporate some aspects of it to this repo.

[URL spec]: https://alwinb.github.io/url-specification "@alwinb’s URL spec"

It might be difficult to decide which parts, and how to incorporate them, though — I don’t think it makes sense to try to incorporate the whole thing at once.

Maybe it would be sensible to try to first try to ammend the existing state machine algorithm with your grammar or parts thereof, and progressively replace parts of it over time.

I suppose the precursor to that would be to write the necessary machinery to include the grammar into the spec and to interleave it with the state machine algorithm.

Honestly, I really wish the WHATWG would give more value to the interest behind this, as well as to the effort @alwinb has put into consolidating a specification.

I acknowledge it can be difficult to assess the validity of interests across all the different WHATWG specs, and that’s why I think a concrete pull request would help show the applicability of the approach.
