Sure, but HTTP, XMLHttpRequest, CSS, etc. are not part of the HTML 5 spec yet still need to use the same algorithm in the end. That is part of the reason why we defined it separately so the continued repetition that this is just for HTML5 is confusing, in my opinion. >> Also, it makes much more sense (due to the URL >> character encoding) to map Hypertext References >> directly to URIs rather than frame them as some >> type of IRI. > > I don't understand this: the IRI document currently > describes a HREF -> URI mapping; is that OK > with you? My bad, yes that is perfectly OK with me. (I guess I'm getting brainwashed by suggestions that Hypertext References can simply be mapped to IRIs.) -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
