Re: [whatwg/url] Enumerate differences with URI & IRI in an appendix (PR #923)

annevk left a comment (whatwg/url#923)

Thanks for all the feedback! With the model section I wanted to focus on the representation differences. E.g., that a URL can have a path that is `/%` which is different from `/%25`. That is impossible to express in a URI.

Many differences go away after parsing because `<` for instance is percent-encoded. So with respect to `<` I believe URL and URI are aligned in terms of model/representation. It can only be expressed as `%3C` (or lowercase).

There are indeed also other differences such as how we deal with relative URLs, normalization, and comparison, but those feel less important.
