This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
2.6.3 Resolving URLs http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/urls.html#resolving-urls Deals with processing URLs. The steps here result in defining the "character encoding" of the URL, which is applied to the query portion of the URL. I put character encoding in quotes, because it is really the character encoding of the document or script containing the URL as a string. Step 8.2 contains an implicit encoding conversion (to the document character encoding). A health warning should be supplied about what to do when the character cannot be encoded into the target encoding.
That is already defined.
