The acronym URL expands to "Uniform Resource **Locator**”. The
string “print:#” does not match this spec: it is not a locator, it
is a processing instruction. BTW, the full form of the local URL “#”
can be viewed as “html:#” (whether it is allowed by the URL standard
or not) which means that you need a URL to access the resource you
want to print; prefixing it with “print:” would result in a double
URL scheme, which is unacceptable. Therefore it is better to use a
special target, if any.
Would href="print://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/" have
been better then?
I think new URI schemes are outside the scope of the WHATWG work. See
also http://rfc.net/std0066.html#s3.1. and http://rfc.net/rfc2718.html
My initial request was not about a specific technique, but about a
functionality. If a pseudo-protocol is not an option, maybe there's
another solution.
