Description Anne 2012-10-27 21:48:46 UTC 
URL disallows these code points that HTML does not disallow: U+FFF0 to U+FFFD.

Compare: 

http://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-units
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/parsing.html#preprocessing-the-input-stream

Also http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3987#section-2.2 btw.

It is not entirely clear to me why this difference is justified and I plan on aligning URL with HTML with regard to this in due course.

Since these will be percent-encoded anyway I don't see any reason to exclude them.
