Re: [whatwg/url] Should we escape \ in non-special non-opaque paths? (Issue #675)

You know what, scratch my previous comment. It’s not good.

Let’s take a step back.   

I have never seen an hierarchical URL with a `\` in its path that should _not_ be interpreted as a delimiter. 

Isn’t it way better to just treat any `\` in any URL string as `/` unless the scheme indicates an opaque path? (ref, #385).  

Better backward compatibility, much simpler parser, fewer special cases. 

The current alignment is cool, but you will manage to get that again, don’t let it prevent us from making solid improvements.
