Actually, now that I think about it, these forms don't really work. For starters, there should not be a '#' preceding the id of the related item, for consistency with the "for" attribute as used elsewhere (e.g. <label>). More importantly, there is probably no need for the value of the "for" attribute to be a URL. In any situation where a comment is about another web page, a link will be present on the page that the <comment> can reference. So the form in this case would be: <a id="link-id" href="http://example.com">Example website</a> <comment for="link-id"> This website has a lot of great resources and ideas. </comment> Hence the only valid usage for the "for" attribute would be as with <label>, i.e. for="id".
