I perfectly understand. I did notice that because I was browsing web sites making lynx complain. I did a quick check on current html "recommendation" only. Some web sites are "already" using request-host relative href in base element. This "recommendation" should be way more explicit on noscript and light web browsers (html and xml), like defining such a user agent profile. -- Sylvain _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
