The attributes in question have a specific data type which is defined to be a valid URI according RFC"whatever". Checking that does conform to those rules is not out of scope for the validator.

The same goes for checking links. -- As a cat owner, I know this for a fact... Nothing says "I love you" like a decapitated gopher on your front porch.
