Thanks, great!  I see nothing against backporting it to Emacs 25.1.  But
I must be honest, I'm pretty new to Emacs and its hard for me to judge
the risks of doing so.  But with all the new tests in place, I don't
expect it breaks anything fundamentally; the changes were mainly related
to how fragments and relative URLs are handled.  These are more edge
cases and I guess it would also only affect some rare edge cases - if at
all.

Shall I to elaborate more on this?  What do you think?

By the way, the 25.1 branch still uses the old test directory layout...
