[whatwg/url] "This throws an exception if the input is not an..." (Issue #724)

This isn't correct. For example, `https:example.org` is not an absolute-URL-with-frament-string, but `new URL("https:example.org")` does not throw an exception.

One potential fix would be not to try to reference a formally-defined term here, and instead say something vaguer and not linked like "absolute URL". Or you could try to say something about "parseable as a URL without a base URL", maybe.
