Re: [whatwg/url] Web compatibility issue with various unknown (external) protocols like ed2k (Issue #815)

It's easy to see why space and code points below it would be forbidden. It's easy to see why DELETE would be forbidden. Also, it's easy to see why squary brackets (IPv6) are forbidden. It's easy to see why characters that occur before or after the host are forbidden. Why are ^, |, and % forbidden?

(Today I learned that [Thunderbird expects](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1527462) post-parse host to be able to contain %. However, Firefox has not allowed % since 2019, so chances are that it's not a Web compat issue for % to be forbidden..)
