Overall, I think this is interesting and something some browser developers would really like to see, as they often want to report site compatibility issues. Therefore, I think you might want to write down a proposal that's more detailed and create an entry in the registry[1] so that people know such an idea exists. I don't think it's particularly important to get an "Accepted" status and popularizing the idea is probably more important. Also, you might want to share your idea on public-vocab@w3.org[2] as there are more people on that list who are in general more interested in features like this.

For embedding data in a URL, you might consider something like data:text/plain,http?uri=/bug.dat&method=POST&captcha=/captcha.jpg but I am not an expert on this to say whether this is a good idea. > - etc (ws:, irc: ...) > > In order to test this i just made a Chrome extension illustrating how > browsers could handle this meta markup : > https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bugmeback/hgmagcomobmjhaomdoihiggpdekaehmg > > The code is there : https://github.com/nfroidure/BugMeBack Thanks for moving this forward with a concrete implementation instead of an abstract idea! I am not familiar Chrome extension API and what chrome.extension.sendRequest does, but if it does send an email when @href is a mailto: URL, you might want to either: 1. Discuss with whoever creates the entry for rel=webmaster in [1] to see if either rel=webmaster can be dropped or rel=bugreport can be merged into it. 2. Extract mailto: URL from rel=webmaster too and treat it as if it is rel=bugreport. > Are you interested in that kind of approach for bug reporting ? I think a lot of people do dream of an automatic Web but unfortunately it's never easy to make one.
