Re: Registering the about: URI scheme

Hi Lachy.

The above currently says:

  3.1. about:blank

  Applications resolving this URI must return an empty resource,
  containing nothing.

I note that in Firefox and Opera (the two browsers I have available at
the moment) both don’t return an empty resource, but a text/html
resource that has some content, but not much.  When I “view source” in
Opera, it shows me:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html dir="ltr">
<head>
 <title>Blank page</title>
</head>
<body></body></html>

and in Firefox I get:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><title></title></head><body></body></html>

Does this matter?
