I think the best thing for IETF documents is to use "URI" (rather than "URL"), and to cite RFC 3986. The W3C, via the WHATWG, is (re-)defining "URL", and we *could* cite that work. That would not be my preference here. Barry _______________________________________________ Anima mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/anima
