I think we should mirror that, such as by > saying: Even if valid strings have to be constrained to the Basic Latin range, it doesn't follow that case-insensitive comparisons (under general Unicode collation) leads to only Basic Latin strings matching valid strings case-insensitively. So even if only ASCII strings are valid, failing to define ASCII-case-insensitive comparison is sloppy when the values to be compared consist of UTF-16 code units. >> DETAILS >> >> After "Extensions to the predefined set of link types may be >> registered in the Microformats wiki existing-rel-values page.

Right. > s/absolute URLs/absolute URLs that only contain US-ASCII characters and/ I don't have interest arguing that point either way, so OK. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
