Description Marcos Caceres 2013-05-03 16:54:32 UTC 
The spec sez:
The components a URL can consist of and parsed URL

Should maybe say:
The components a URL can consist of a parsed URL
Comment 1 Marcos Caceres 2013-05-03 17:00:37 UTC 
Oh wait. No, just your sentence is just a bit funky. 

It should be:

The components a URL can consists of a scheme, scheme data (not used if scheme is a relative scheme), username, password, host, port, path, query, and fragment. A  parsed URL can also consist of these components. 

Or some such. I think there is still something wrong with the original (there is an superflous "are" there).

How about: https://github.com/whatwg/url/commit/800f824f6db85960155d237098e4ff474b39a930

"can consist of" and "consists of" are different in important ways :-)
