FWIW rather than implementing our own URL parsing at all... wrapping a library extracted from a compatible-license major browser (Chromium or Firefox) and keeping it updated would avoid disparities.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how feasible this really is.  Do all of the API surfaces we must support in the stdlib for compatibility's sake with urllib line up with such a browser core URL parsing library?

Something to ponder.  Unlikely something we'll actually do.
