Good catch. I have created an issue for this
(http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/trac/ticket/68, a separate mail
should be sent from the tracker).
Is the HTML5 wording what we want, or do we need something else? Would
that help to get Firefox to adopt this? Can somebody suggest actual wording?
Regards, Martin.
P.S.: People who want to help out with tracking (i.e. create issues, add
proposals directly to the tracker,...) should contact one of the Chairs
for getting a login, if I remember correctly.
