Proposal to add WHATWG URL to ECMAScript

WHATWG URL

Introduce the WHATWG URL and URLSearchParams APIs as intrinsic ECMAScript objects.

Motivation

Unify and standardize URL parsing and handling across ECMAScript environments.

Note: Node.js has introduced WHATWG compatible URL parsing as a stable feature in v8.0.

Example

const base = new URL('http://example.org/foo');
const url = new URL('bar', base);

API

The API would be as defined by the WHATWG URL specification.
