+URL parsing security
+--------------------
+
+The :func:`urlsplit` and :func:`urlparse` APIs do not perform **validation** of
+inputs.  They may not raise errors on inputs that other applications consider
+invalid.  They may also succeed on some inputs that might not be considered
+URLs elsewhere.  Their purpose is for practical functionality rather than
+purity.
+
+Instead of raising an exception on unusual input, they may instead return some
+component parts as empty strings. Or components may contain more than perhaps
+they should.
+
+We recommend that users of these APIs where the values may be used anywhere
+with security implications code defensively. Do some verification within your
+code before trusting a returned component part.  Does that ``scheme`` make
+sense?  Is that a sensible ``path``?  Is there anything strange about that
+``hostname``?  etc.
+
+What constitutes a URL is not universally well defined.  Different applications
+have different needs and desired constraints.  For instance the living `WHATWG
+spec`_ describes what user facing web clients such as a web browser require.
+While :rfc:`3986` is more general.  These functions incorporate some aspects of
+both, but cannot be claimed compliant with either.  The APIs and existing user
+code with expectations on specific behaviors predate both standards leading us
+to be very cautious about making API behavior changes.
