I don't know of any way to do that.  I can tell you that in WebKit,
the function that usually gets called to resolve URLs (called
completeURL if you want to look it up in the source) returns a
canonicalized URL.

Yeah, what might make the most sense is to use canonicalize to
post-process both resolving and parsing.  We can choose the names so
that calling the canonicalizing version is easy.
