Re: [calsify] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC9073 (7381)

[Ken Murchison <[e-mail]>]

As Mike stated in a reply to just the calsify list, the URL property is 
covered by iana-prop in the ABNF for locprop, so I don't know if this 
should be marked as verified or hold for doc update.  I'll leave that 
decision to Francesca.
