Julian, (I wasn't ignoring what you wrote, just wanted to check it out, hence the delay :) On 2 Nov 2011, at 15:11, Julian Reschke wrote: > 2) "\" and "/": > > 2a) The uniform treatment of "\" hasn't agreement; for instance, Firefox does it only for file URIs (as far as I recall). > > 2b) That being said, "\" doesn't appear in syntactically valid URIs or IRIs anyway, so maybe we can ignore the question; it won't affect any valid URI/IRI anyway. That being the case, how would any URL that contained a "\" get to step 12 of the HTML5 resolution algorithm [1] where they're swapped for "/"s given that step 10 says (I think!) that syntactically invalid URI/IRIs will raise an error and stop the resolution?
