I agree that the about: RFC should just state that about:blank represents a text/html resource encoded as UTF-8, either stating it is the empty string document or giving a sequence of bytes similar to <html><head><title></title></head><body></body></html>. Come to think of it, such an explicit sequence might be needed as current implementations always have a <title> element there, no? I do not think however that it needs to reference HTML5. There already is a text/html RFC and it seems much easier to go ahead without depending on HTML5 here. (Apart from perhaps making the security considerations more clear, but that section is non-normative so you could reference it from there in theory anyway.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
