Then we might as well define them. It's not like their parsing
behavior is particularly hard. And this does not just affect new
URL(), it affects how e.g. <a> behaves as well. And a large part of
the reason of defining this is because of the current mess of nobody
following the IETF standards (which were not compatible, URL standard
hopefully is)...

In any event, this issue seems relatively minor compared to what's
involved in getting Gecko to switch URL parsers.
