Consider the following objects:

    url, url2, ... : URL objects
    location, location2, ... : Location objects
    a, a2, .... : HTMLAnchorElement objects

All these objects implement URLUtils according to the WhatWG specs, and are therefore stringified using their `href` attribute. 
Now, which one of these equalities should "work" by just comparing the stringification?

    url == url2
    location == url
    location == location2
    a == url
    a == location
    a == a2

For me, I couldn't say. But in any case, my intention is clearer (and not too Java-esque) by writing the following:

    a.href == location.href

In the worst case, when I don't know if I have a string or an URLUtils object, I just ensure that at least one member of the equality operator is stringified—and, most importantly, that it is evident from reading my code that one member is stringified:

    a.href == url
    String(whatever) == url
