(Keywords: html5) 

At the moment, <input type='url'> type mismatch constraint validation is using |nsIIOService::NewURI| which not checking URI according to RFC's 3986 and 3987, AFAICT.
You mean NewURI should do more checks? That's bug 19313.

Please note, however, that NewURI only succeeds for URL schemes that are registered on the user's system. If the user doesn't have a handler for e.g. tel: or mailto:, it fails, IIRC.

This might be good to look into once we implement the URL Standard better.
