Re: [whatwg/url] Rephrase the stated goal of obsoleting RFC 3986 and RFC 3987 (Issue #703)

It seems like this specification is primarily concerned with how urls are used by browsers. Which makes sense for  a specification from WHATWG. As a specific example, one reason stated for not supporting relative urls in #421 and #531 is that they aren't needed in the browser. However, browsers are not the only places that urls are used. Perhaps that goals should be scoped to "in the context of a web browser"?  Although, that brings up the concern of divergence between how urls are handled in the browser and on servers.
