While the target audience for WHATWG specs is obviously the Web, where JavaScript reigns, many specs can also be implemented offline in other languages.

To help those implementations out, it would probably be good to specify that variables are aliases, as in JavaScript, not copies, as in some other languages.

See whatwg/url#316.
