I would personally strongly favor replacing the IRI to URI mapping as that keeps overall complexity the lowest`and the specification simple. > Right now, the HTML5/"Web Address" draft is written as > "how to parse" and "how to resolve relative to absolute". > > I'm not sure if it's possible to recast it as > HRef => URI, but it's certainly worth a try. That is sort of what the HTML5 specification is doing now, though maybe not in a way you prefer. As long as it defines the same thing and is usable for XMLHttpRequest, CSS, etc. as well I think everything is fine. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/Received on Monday, 1 June 2009 18:27:35 UTC
