Well, this is how it works in IE 5.5 too. And in IE 6 beta. And in later
versions of IE, I'd assume, until this working group produces a
recommendation. Then, I hope, everybody will want to do something else. I
for one would *really* like to have a standard to implement.
Nor do I believe that we are abusing either the IETF publication process or
protocol standards, as you suggested, by the way. We replied to a request
for information, and believe that both the disadvantages (e.g. doesn't work
as part of an URI) and the advantages of this approach have been presented.
