Hey 👋, I was working on the proposals for unifying the URL specs. From the research I’ve done on the topic so far, we’d need a total of 2 RFC's to solve to problem and ensure it never occurs again.
The 1st RFC (The Unified URI RFC) will use the original 2005 URI RFC as it’s basis, then build on top of it the modern WHATWG URL standard. Alwin Blok already created a new URL Spec. proposal to try to accomplish this very goal, we’ll investigate what changes there are between both RFC’s and the new proposal by Alwin, and look to create a Unified RFC from that.
Some ideas that @Randall, Jonathan Neal, and I played with were separating URI’s and URL’s.
- URI’s represent any form a path locator ca
