Re: [whatwg/url] Support IPv6 zone identifiers (#392)

Thanks @karwa. I agree that any URI parser or decoder would have this problem, not just those in browsers. As soon as they have separated out the host part of the URI, any programmer will normalise the whole thing to lower case before analysing whether it's example.com, 1.2.3.4, [::abcd] or [::abcd%upper].
@DemiMarie is correct, I guess, that theoretically every parser *could* be hacked around to defer the normalisation but that is a big ask, whereas (from my experience with patching wget) the change as defined in the draft is quite straightforward.
