Description Olivier Thereaux 2007-08-07 05:24:22 UTC 
Among the checks that DTDs can't perform, veryfying the syntax of URIs for attributes with value type URI would be welcome.

This is a subset of Bug 69.
Comment 1 Olivier Thereaux 2007-08-07 05:26:31 UTC 
A brick-by-brick explanation of how this could be done is at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2007Aug/0057.html

1) find of write a perl parser/checker for a URI string
2) list all the elements/attribute pairs for URI type
3) include in the validator

I propose to update the severity of this bug to "critical",
