http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-document

[[
The URL and documentURI attributes must return the URL.
]]

I don't see how http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-document-url is linked to http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dom.html#the-document's-address but they should be the same concept (since document.URL is affected by e.g. history.pushState).
Comment 1 Anne 2014-01-06 13:33:13 UTC 
I have the feeling this regressed in HTML somehow.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-01-08 19:35:34 UTC 
HTML says "The URL associated with a Document, as defined in the DOM specification, is referred to in this specification as the document's address".
Comment 3 Simon Pieters 2014-01-08 20:10:58 UTC 
Hmm. That would be easier to find if it was actually the definition of "the document's address".

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8402.
