Just to see what it would be like, I rewrote the URL spec into a URI spec. The result is at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/url/uri.txt I am not very happy with it, since the additional terms tend to cloud the implementation advice. I could fix that by calling everything a URL except in the Introduction, but it probably isn't worth the effort. Others may feel differently, so give it a look if you care about this issue. So, my feeling is that draft 09 is the final URL draft and it should be sent to the IESG now. I'd appreciate it if people using/developing the latest versions of URL-enabled applications could run the tests on http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/url/test1.html and send me the results. We need to compile a list of implementations for each URL "feature" in order to progress to Draft Standard. ....Roy
