Proposal: In p2 Section 9.5, add a paragraph after the examples (before "There are circumstances..."): """ Some recipients attempt to recover from Location fields that are not valid URI references. This specification does not mandate or define such processing, but does allow it (see Section 1.1).

Given that, I propose we mention that some implementations might do error handling / processing on the Location payload, and leave it at that; if a spec does pop up before we finish, we can revisit. > > Thoughts? > > Regards, > > -- > Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/ > > > > -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
