In proper technical terms, it is a URI-reference.  It is NOT a URL.

That RFC (from 1995) was updated by RFC 2396 in 1998, which was obsoleted by 
RFC 3986 in 2005, which was updated by RFC 6874 in 2013, by RFC 7320 in 2014 
(obsoleted by RFC 8820 in 2020), and by RFC 8820 in 2020.

So what you are citing has always been irrelevant to the question before as 
XMLHttpRequest was initially developed for Outlook Web Access in 2000.

When looking up RFCs, I strongly recommend to use the URI 

https://tools.ietf.org/html/

which provides the text of an RFC, and information about RFCs that obsolete 
and update it, which are linked.
