The URL Space is Bigger than the Universe
For the past few years I’ve been trying to build an operating system that can do everything you expect an operating system to do while also encoding its entire state as a single URL. That way, we get a permanent link to every O/S state, achieving truly comprehensive deep linking.

Dotless Domains
But it does comply with WHATWG’s URL Standard, which obsoletes RFC 3986, providing something that’s actually robustly implementable. Some things do definitely try to follow RFC 3986 still, but I think it’s largely legacy stuff, and the URL Standard is more important these days.

Python grapples with Apple App Store rejections
A comment on the issue linked from the PR references https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-serializing as a rationale for why itms-services would normally not have the "//" and therefore needs the exception. However that spec says non-null, not non-empty, so it sounds like python's URL library is actually just wrong here in that it's treating an empty host the same as null.

Unveiling URI, URL, and URN
To add to the mess, the WHATWG now maintains a "URL" spec that covers URIs and declares URIs an outdated term for URLs: https://url.spec.whatwg.org/
So now we have a URL spec that says URI is an old term for URLs, and a URI spec that says that URL is just a term for a certain subset of URIs.

Cool URIs can be ugly
Semicolon (;) has no special meaning in a URL. You can ascribe it a meaning in your particular routing, but the spec has nothing to say about it.

URL Explained – The Fundamentals
For the query portion, it really depends if your are reading it server side or client side and using the WHATWG standard[0] which itself just mirrors convention. However, the standard dictating how a URL might be formed does not mandate anything about the query string that makes it parsable.

When URL parsers disagree (CVE-2023-38633, librsvg)
Browsers have discrepancies too of course. Here's an interesting Chromium bug I've been following: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=125253... and an associated WHATWG discussion: https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/606
