There is nothing wrong with a zero-length URL. You can write <a href=""> quite validly (I have even done it). Not that I can think of a use for url() in CSS (though maybe with content negotiation it could be meaningful); but my experience with designing langauges in the past has made me adopt a maxim: Just because I can't think of a use for something now isn't a priori a reason to disallow it. (Since things that have been disallowed in the past have turned out to be needed later on; @id on all elements is an example that springs immediately to mind). Best wishes, Steven
