Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2011-08-04 05:05:24 UTC 
mass-moved component to LC1
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-08-11 22:33:17 UTC 
Can you elaborate? What's the reasoning here?
Comment 3 Ms2ger 2011-08-12 08:35:36 UTC 
It's what at least Gecko and WebKit do, based on code inspection.
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-08-31 23:17:59 UTC 
Isn't that already covered by "If convert-to-URL is true, then parse result as appropriate for text/uri-list data, and then set result to the first URL from the list, if any, or the empty string otherwise. [RFC2483]"?
Comment 5 Ms2ger 2011-09-01 07:44:59 UTC 
Unsurprisingly, the RFC seems to be silent on this.
Comment 6 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-09-21 22:56:40 UTC 
I just meant the "the first URL" part. URLs don't start or end with spaces, so...?
