Description Anne 2009-09-30 13:46:54 UTC 
I thought I already filed a bug on this but I cannot find an open bug anymore on HTML5 and the issue is still there.

In "Changes to the networking model" the third bullet item should reference the algorithm "matches a fallback namespace" rather than just prefix match. This is important in cases such as

/foo x
/foobar y

It would also make sense to me to integrate "Matching a fallback namespace" with the earlier section on "application cache" since now it is somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r4167.
Check-in comment: Move the definition of Matching a fallback namespace, which was in the middle of nowhere, into the earlier definitions section.
