Lets look at the specific symptoms and consider the best way to fix them.

There may well be places where we want to carry around arbitrary strings even
if KURL thinks they are invalid URLs -- it would be risky to make this change
to such an often-used class.

The fact that Google’s separate version of KURL did not preserve this feature
is interesting, but we haven’t tested the vast number of WebKit clients on Mac
OS X, for example, with Google’s implementation. So we don’t know what the
repercussions of starting to completely disallow invalid URLs would be.
