This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
WEBADDRESS is now obsolete, and the appropriate reference for HTML-style URI parsing is IRIbis (I believe the HREF syntax is supposed to match what is required).
This is blocked on IRIbis being updated to actually include the necessary definitions and algorithms.
See <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/2009Jul/0032.html> for comments on blocking issues.

I think this is covered by: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/56 (Not that I personally want to escalate it, but it effectively has been already.)
This is essentially the same bug as bug 8207. Marking as duplicate and removing TrackerIssue. Duping to the later bug because that one is already listed as the bug for ISSUE-56, and has more useful information. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 8207 ***
