The url field does not need to be a valid URL string (i.e., a string that when run through the URL parser, does not produce any validation error). It only needs to be a string that when run through the URL parser, does not produce failure.

There doesn't appear to be any term for this (which is kind of nuts, since this concept is literally the only thing that ever matters in any place on the web where a URL is expected). I'll just say "URL string".

(This used to be a well-defined term, until whatwg/url@50cb9ab9d8 😕)
