As far as I know we don't currently use URLs for anything other than fetching and navigating throughout the web platform. We do have a fair amount of trivial microsyntaxes for other tasks, especially in HTML. It is also not like we get any leverage out of using URLs here as this is essentially a microsyntax layered on top of a URL. We first have to parse it as a URL, then I guess we have to check that there is no host component (not possible per current URL parser definition by the way), then we have to split the path component in various ways and do checks on the query. Did you define processing for what happens if there is a fragment there or username and password information? -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
