Let's eliminate the URL/URI distinction. Justin, I totally agree that the distinction between URL and URI is almost meaningless. Any URL is a URI. Any URI that isn't a URL can be made a URL by coming about with a resolution process. What I was trying to say is that a "HTML URL" is not a RFC3986 URL. It's not even a IRI. BR, Julian
