Re: [whatwg/url] Proposal for new version of parsing spec (Issue #778)

PEG == Parsing Expression Grammar, basically the abstract way of defining how a parser works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar

More things than web browsers exist and the URL schema is not just for browsers. Also just a few days ago someone on twitter asked how CORS is supposed to work with HTTP via Unix Socket, so the limitations are real.
And for web browsers/users the change wouldn't be noticeable, as the current syntax would remain as a shorthand notation, where as the newer more explicit one will allow all the usecases that currently aren't standardized and that everyone implements in hundred different ways...
