That's fairly non-specific, unless you really mean that you don't want

I don't think it's that big, there's plenty of other things disallowed
that we should always be able to find something, if it comes to that.


I ended up doing some more work on this and created a bunch of tests
and filed various browser bugs. Not applying ToASCII to ASCII-only

round-tripping poorly. https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/267 has
the relevant details and pointers.
