More or less, but the escaping is more trivial, the origin is the parent's in all cases (origin for data: is more complicated than that to handle things like redirects, and we don't yet have consensus amongst all the implementors and the spec about exactly what the model should be), and we can do things like imply a <!DOCTYPE HTML> and make <title> optional, thus forcing strict mode and not requiring quite as much boilerplate. The escaping is the main thing, though. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
