I think there are two extremes: one is that "HTML5" can say "Oh, URI and IRI stuff, check this RFC, that's all" and the other is that "HTML5" has no need to contradict what we specify but is not aided much beyond that. I think the working group should make a specification that does not have to be contradicted; anything beyond that is quite optional as far as the "'HTML5' requirement", or any other "user"-specific requirement goes. (Note that this is not "HTML5"-specific; I think that it's bad to have a base specification that you need to override at a higher level; in con- trast, having a base specification that you have to clarify or otherwise limit at a higher level, that's much better. I think it was a mistake to adopt any "HTML5" specific requirement as a matter of principle.) -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
