(moving this particular discussion over to the HTML WG mailing list) The main disadvantage is that a recipient that only looks for "up" and which tries to build a tree of resources, treating "up up up" as "up" will create a broken tree. On the other hand, the advantage you are citing is only an advantage if a given resource only contains "up up up", but not also "up up" and "up". What you be the point of that? BR, Julian
