    <thetext>In section 4.12.1 it says that the href attribute on a link element &apos;has to be a valid non-empty URL&apos; (i.e. not potentially surrounded by spaces),  in 4.2.4 is says this it &apos;must contain a valid non-empty URL potentially surrounded by spaces&apos;.

    <thetext>Yes, it looks like the href requirement was removed from the links section so it&apos;s only  specified in one place now.</thetext>
