Description Giuseppe Pascale 2013-03-04 15:58:04 UTC 
Many websites out there rely on being able to link to specific sections of the html5 spec by using something like "http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/page-name.html#section-name"

One example for video: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/video.html#video

These broken links can be found also on popular websites like html5rocks.com, see e.g. the section resources here

http://www.html5rocks.com/en/features/multimedia


Now, I'm not sure if this can be easily fixed and if it's worth fixing it anyway (or if people should update their pages) but since I've seen many broken links in the past months in various places I though I would report this.

I believe that this is now fixed, can you double-check?

Confirmed resolved by OP.
