http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#interfaces I would like to see URI attribute names matching the names given those components in the URI spec: http://gbiv.com/protocols/uri/rfc/rfc3986.html#components protocol -> scheme userInformation (new) hostname -> host port (no change) host -> authority (includes userInformation in addition to host:port) pathname -> path search -> query hash -> fragment I've no idea where the terms in the HTML5 draft come from (if they come from a meaningful source, a reference to that would be useful). I don't mind if there are duplicates e.g. if "search" and "query" are both attributes and mean the same. Unfortunately "host" will be a problem. Is there a legacy issue with implementations already using this terminology? I suspect there is. cheers, Ben
