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

The URL Standard and standards that build on it do end up using and exposing the host in quite a few ways. So perhaps meaning is not strictly-speaking defined, but there is a lot of behavior build on top that is outside the realm of DNS.

We cannot just change the syntax without addressing that. I told the RFC authors repeatedly that syntax isn't really the problem here. It's the end-to-end integration.

And even if someone solved that, there's also the problem of getting implementer interest, which is a requirement per our Working Mode. And thus far I've largely seen opposition on that front.
