Thanks for everyone's response - all very useful. It does appear that there is "a lot of weird code out there" and parsers have to try to account for it as best they can, depending on their purpose. Per the RFC, it is reasonable to do some string manipulation to create an absolute URL from a relative URL.
And thanks for the welcome. You'll be hearing back from me as I continue to delve into Microformats.

There's a whole bunch of weird code out there that people expect to be parsed. If it's not forbidden by the spec, then you've just got to roll up your sleeves and parse it. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk> _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
