Hi Jiacheng,

Thanks again for all this interop work!

I don't think I understood the process that led to special treatment for
data:, javascript:, intent:, urn:, turn:, and stun:. It seems like the
intent is to not follow the standard precisely for those schemes, right? I
guess that might be reasonable as a stepping stone, but I want to make sure
we're tracking our failure to follow the standard there, and hopefully
eventually fixing it.

I've filed https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues/38970 to
discuss adding more test coverage. To help us with that, can you provide an
example of how the blocklist your document discusses will work? That is,
the document says

> Add a blocklist for non-special schemes. The schemes in the block list
must have an opaque host.

Since there's no such list in the URL Standard itself, I'm assuming this
means those schemes will have nonstandard behavior. But I don't understand
what nonstandard behavior is implied by "must have an opaque host". Can you
give an example of, e.g., a stun: URL, which will parse differently in the
URL Standard vs. Blink's implementation, due to this blocklist?
