I don't know of any way to do that. I can tell you that in WebKit, the function that usually gets called to resolve URLs (called completeURL if you want to look it up in the source) returns a canonicalized URL. > If not, then we should just define resolve() > as doing the canonicalize() step. Yeah, what might make the most sense is to use canonicalize to post-process both resolving and parsing. We can choose the names so that calling the canonicalizing version is easy. Adam
