1. I think it's a good thing to phrase this in terms of the BNF from
3986 and 3987. I don't think it's obvious that this piece of the
spec
needs to reuse the HTML URI parser.
AFAICT "that" parser is used for HTTP, CSS, HTML, XMLHttpRequest,
DOM APIs, etc.
I phrased this poorly. The question at hand is whether the spec needs
a dependency on HTML's use of URI references, or whether a reference
to the URI spec is sufficient. I suspect that the latter is in fact
the case; implementations would still be free to be a bit more lenient.
