Well, it's not clear from that bug that any Mozilla committers feel it's wise to "fix." Even so, they seem to be leaning towards patching html:a as a special case, in the event that they do anything. I'll agree that this should be a warning, and perhaps write something that willcome back to haunt me--Atom makes a point of leaning many established specifications. It's unwise to lean on those specs in the corner cases where they diverge from existing implementations, and a warning in the feedvalidator is justified in such cases. > As a result of that bug, same-document references in documents with > xml:base or html:base...
