That section says:

"2.1 Dependencies

This specification relies on several other underlying specifications.

HTML

     Many fundamental concepts from HTML are used by this specification. 
[HTML]
WebIDL

     The IDL blocks in this specification use the semantics of the 
WebIDL specification. [WEBIDL]"

How is a reader supposed to know that "resolve a URL", printed in bold, 
refers to a very specific algorithm in the HTML spec?
