However, WHATWG-URL consistently calls it username, putting the URL portion of the RFC at odds with the WHATWG-URL spec. Calling it username would be more in line with the spec. That would likely mean calling it username in the URI portion of the RFC as well.
This makes sense to me. The WHATWG URL standard uses username, RFC 3986 uses user, but considers that deprecated in favor of the generic userinfo. user along might be somewhat ambiguous since it could refer to the entire userinfo section or to just the part before the first colon.
