I've done something similar now, but with tests that match the
requirements of the URL Standard (and pass in my jURL/url.js library).

https://github.com/annevk/url/ has all the relevant data.

I decided to create a new custom format to host all the tests, similar
to html5lib, as JSON has no support for lone surrogates or comments.
It should be pretty trivial to contribute new tests for this format
and I have scripts that can generate the format given some test data.

Not tested: IDNA, setting URL properties (needs custom solution),
origin property.

Feedback welcome.
