I'm not hung up on it personally. That was the use case people cared about at the time. If folks want to store generic URIs (not web page URLs), we can define a spec for that.

But not URLs. Again, it's about the use case of interest. If folks want to "bookmark" mailto: and gopher: and ftp: and svn+ssh: URIs and so on, have at it. Let's define a spec for that. But I see no reason to confuse existing implementations, which use the <url/> element only for web pages. > Instead of making a huge long post here, I'll do one on my blog instead: > > http://blog.dave.cridland.net/?p=40 > > I hope that gives some food for thought.
