I don't want to have to reverse engineer it and don't want others to reverse engineer it, so please specify as much as you can. I also want browsers to have something to follow so that handling is consistent. Although the HTML5 spec is one place for it, it's a shame that the URI spec only deals with the valid. Just throwing errors and breaking things isn't always ideal. What about an "error-handling for URIs" companion spec/rfc instead of doing it in HTML5? -- Michael
