11 months ago @annevk since this is an existing focus area, can you make the case for carryover and any scope expansion in https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/424? (It was first also filed as a focus area, but we renamed/relabeled it.)

Description
URL was a focus area in 2023 and I think it should remain one in 2024 as the primary developer complaint around non-special URLs not being interoperable continues to be true.
Additionally there are still a significant number of differences in IDNA support which is not great for end users.
Also, with #525 potentially being included I think this becomes even more important as that builds upon the URL Standard and the sole browser implementation of URLPattern doesn't implement the URL Standard correctly.
Specification
https://url.spec.whatwg.org
Open Issues
https://github.com/whatwg/url/labels/topic%3A%20idna might be relevant here, but note that these are deliberately not tested in WPT until we have reached agreement with Unicode on a way forward.
Tests
https://wpt.fyi/results/url (scoping this down similar to last year would be acceptable)
I've done some work to improve https://wpt.fyi/results/html/infrastructure/urls/resolving-urls/query-encoding (as well as https://wpt.fyi/results/fetch/api/basic/url-parsing.sub.html%3Fencoding%3Dx-cp1251 and siblings) and it would be great to include those this year as well.
