@mnot I figured you'd be interested in a change of this magnitude, if it were to happen.

As an example, `http://[::1%32]/` is currently failure per the URL Standard (and Gecko & WebKit), but `http://[::12]/` in Chromium. After the proposed change it would be `http://[[::1]/`. I'd rather align on failure.

As I understand it the use case for ignoring it is that sometimes you might happen across a URL (such as with a printer) and the zone ID doesn't matter because the default zone also works. How common is that for most end users?
