+// It is a simplified version of url.URL, with the important limitations (which
+// are considered features here) that it contains value-copyable components only,
+// as well as that it doesn't do any URL encoding/decoding of special characters.
+//
+// The former is important to allow an account to be copied without leaving live
+// references to the original version, whereas the latter is important to ensure
+// one single canonical form opposed to many allowed ones by the RFC 3986 spec.

+// As such, these URLs should not be used outside of the scope of an Ethereum
+// wallet or account.
