Besides the backslash thing, there are a number of URI processing
rules that browsers must follow for web compatibility which are
either not required by or directly contradictory to the URI RFCs.
Documenting these and fixing the relevant RFCs would be a valuable
goal, but possibly beyond the scope of WHATWG.

Interesting. Details please. In doubt, on the URI mailing list
(<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/>).
See this thread from last month for instance:

Thanks for the pointer.
It seems to me that at least this thread does not point out bugs in
RFC3986 or RFC3987, but problems in user agents that do not follow these
specs. Or stated otherwise: in reality, URIs in HTML documents are not
RFC-compliant URIs or IRIs, but something else. It's up to the working
group to either deprecate these kinds of references, or to specify how
they should be handled.
In any case, this doesn't seem to be a problem with the URI/IRI RFCs.
Best regards, Julian
