[Bug 16284] New: Why must the (form)action attribute be a "valid non-empty URL potentially surrounded by spaces" when the form submission algorithm allows them to be empty, resolving to the document's address? Shouldn't they be "Valid URL potentially surrounded by spaces"

           Summary: Why must the (form)action attribute be a "valid
                    non-empty URL potentially surrounded by spaces" when
                    the form submission algorithm allows them to be empty,
                    resolving to the document's address? Shouldn't they be
                    "Valid URL potentially surrounded by spaces"

Comment:
Why must the (form)action attribute be a "valid non-empty URL potentially
surrounded by spaces" when the form submission algorithm allows them to be
empty, resolving to the document's address? Shouldn't they be "Valid URL
potentially surrounded by spaces"?
