Re: [whatwg/url] Provide a succinct grammar for valid URL strings (#479)

Regarding this issue, there may be other options. 

First, I suspect that the people that are asking for a formal grammar, would be somewhat satisfied also with a short, concise, and easy to follow parsing algorithm; one that is separate from resolution and normalisation.

It is also possible to specify the parser with a little bit of code that drives a DFA. Then you have a relatively small table and a bit of code that together define the parser. It is not bnf but it may be quite clear. I can try and show that, if it is not adopted then at least it may be fun.
