about URLs don't have a host name. resource URLs might I suppose. Do resource URLs support relative URLs? The main problem of the URL Standard is that relative URLs becomes a fixed list of schemes. But given the way URLs in browsers work there's not much we can do about that. There's a couple of things we can do for such URLs: a) Standardize them and add their parsing behavior to the URL Standard. b) Rework Gecko to no longer require them. c) Rework the URL to no longer be one that supports relative URLs. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
