I agreed with the previous comment conclusion, but after further discussion on IRC, it was verified that Qt Designer relies on setting QUrl() to reset. So this is a real use case that we might want to keep.

So the proposal here is to change the semantics of QUrl() to be equivalent to QUrl("about:blank"). This fixes Qt Designer behavior and define a semantic for what we expect when setting / loading QUrl() -- which was unclear and untested before. I think this solution is better than doing nothing when we setting / loading QUrl().

This will affect for instance, the value of url() property for a newly created QWebPage. I argue the clarification of the API worth the change.
