It's my understanding that the intent is to actually make technical changes, as indicated in:
This specification documents current RFC 3986 and RFC 3987 handling in contemporary Web browser implementations. As a consequence, this specification is not compatible with those RFCs. It is published for the purpose of providing a stable reference for the HTML5 specification and reflecting current Web browser HTML5 implementations. The W3C Technical Architecture Group expects to continue the work on the URL specification and produce a future version that will attempt to re-align the URL specification with an updated version of RFC 3986 while preserving interoperability.
In which case the WHATWG version wouldn't be "canonical" anymore anyway. Best regards, Julian
