Can you > explain why that is specifically? http://masinter.blogspot.com/2010/01/over-specification-is-anti-competitive.html Not entirely off-topic, but we've been encouraged to keep discussion to particular issues rather than general principles, so I think talking about the general issue should be done elsewhere. (www-tag@w3.org would be OK with me since I think it's a general architectural principle for specifications and not just specific to HTML5.) The particular issue was ISSUE-56 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8207#c6 and http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/56 The implementations of URI processing that I've seen in the past don't match the specific algorithm that used to be in the HTML5 document, and I'd like some evidence that the change proposal: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Nov/0670.html is actually "woefully inadequate" for anything.
