urls-webarch
Assess whether "URLs" section/definition conflicts with Web architecture
- State:
- OPEN
- Product:
- HTML 5 spec
- Raised by:

- 2008-06-30
- Description:
From Roy Fielding: "...pretending to define a new URL standard as part of HTML5 is not acceptable. ... HTML will never define the identifiers for the Web. That would be a fundamental violation of the Web architecture." "Please note that we spent 12 years reaching a global agreement on the meaning of URI, URL, URN, Web addresses, or whatever else you might call them. ... I suggest that the section be removed or replaced with the limited and specific needs for parsing href and src attribute values such that the attribute's value string is mapped to a URI-reference with a defined base-URI." see complete message at: http://www.w3.org/mid/6842F3A9-5BBD-4A8B-BB54-73C116EE8785@gbiv.com
