All I can find is a draft published one year ago, and not updated since (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hoehrmann-javascript-scheme-00). IMHO, these "identifiers", as used in HTML, do *not* identify resources, and thus should not be considered as URIs. (Which in turn means that if HTML5 wants to sanction these, it probably should define behaviour for them separately from regular URIs). Best regards, Julian
