Comment 1 Anne 2011-02-24 13:30:26 UTC 
Is the idea here that Hixie will get to this earlier than abarth?
Comment 2 Boris Zbarsky 2011-02-24 14:02:37 UTC 
Relevant note: net_FilterURIString in the Gecko code.

The idea here is that someone needs to get to this and that HTML either references or includes the spec text.
