what do you think should be any different/better? the HTML spec very
clearly tells you how links in HTML pages are supposed to be interacted
with. a while ago, i compiled a list of links in HTML at
http://dret.typepad.com/dretblog/2009/10/links-in-html.html, just as an
exercise to see what kind of hypermedia affordances HTML actually
provides. surprisingly many, i think. for each of them HTML says how to
interact. maybe forms is most instructive: the media type tells you how
to assemble form field values, compose them into a well-defined request
format, and then submit them to the form's action URI, using the method
that is specified for the form. well, i am sure you are well aware of
all the things the HTML spec defines, so i am wondering what you would
you think it is lacking in terms of clarity?
cheers,
dret.
