We should probably add a URLUtils interface that's just

[NoInterfaceObject]
interface URLUtils {
           attribute DOMString protocol;
           attribute DOMString host;
           attribute DOMString hostname;
           attribute DOMString port;
           attribute DOMString pathname;
           attribute DOMString search;
           attribute DOMString hash;
};

and make HTMLAreaElement/HTMLAnchorElement/HTMLLinkElement implement it. The new features in <http://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urlutils> can come later.

I'm thinking we want this for HTMLLinkElement too

Why?  The spec doesn't use URLUtils: <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#the-link-element>

This does not have a web-visible effect at this point.

Though without a web-visible effect, I created/updated the following docs to make them up-to-date (I call this opportunist documentation ;-) ):
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URLUtils (and subpages, except those not yet implemented)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Location
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLAnchorElement
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLAreaElement
