The "URL state" section says that value in DOM may be different from value in the user interface: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/forms.html#url-state The example difference given in the spec is URL-escaping, but in my understanding, it should allow to prepending of protocol as well (I admit that last bit is not stated explicitly). -- regards, Kornel
