Just so that others know, I was sure we already had this discussion already, and it appears you started it on the WHATWG list almost exactly one year ago: http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2008-November/017240.html Unfortunately, because it was cross-posted to the rest-discuss list and not everyone was subscribed to both lists, it's quite hard to follow the thread in either archives, so I'd recommend searching by the mail subject: "HTML5 and RESTful HTTP in browsers" The conclusion was (more or less, as there hadn't really had a conclusion) that it's HTTP-specific and HTML shouldn't have special attributes that only work (have significant meaning) in specific circumstances (using an HTTP URI in the <a href="">) -- Thomas Broyer /tɔ.ma.bʁwa.je/
