Description Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-02-09 01:44:13 UTC 
http://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urlutils

I need to define Location.href because it's crazy magic, and I think for HTMLAnchorElement and HTMLAreaElement it just reflects the element's "href" attribute so we might as well let the HTML spec define those too.

So I think "href" should move from URLUtils to URL.

I don't understand. How is setting href different from setting e.g. search? Can't you just use the update steps to take appropriate action? (That's why I introduced the update steps.)
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-02-13 00:05:55 UTC 
Well they're different because one is defined in terms of setting the other. But I guess I can make them all be defined in terms of some other algorithm. Doesn't really matter one way or the other.

Ok, I'll take this one back.

Fixed. See the other bug for the diff.
