I think you were looking at a different document, since there is no section 2.1.3, 2.2.2, and section 3 is not about process. (All of the process stuff was removed). > I think the ":<password>" should be removed from the default Internet > component. Otherwise you encourage plaintext passwords (people will use > them anyway if really necessary). This isn't the "default" Internet component, it is the "generic" Internet component. And the security considerations section says: It is clearly unwise to use a URL that contains a password which is intended to be secret. Need it say more? -- http://www.parc.xerox.com/masinter
