> ws:foo isn't absolute,
How is a browser supposed to know that? Trying to create a URI from that
string without a base URI successfully creates one, for example...
> Are browsers not implementing the spec here?
Nope. Neither Gecko nor webkit throw on such a url, for example. In Gecko's
case, because the concept of "absolute url" the spec uses (one which resolves
to different things depending on the base) matches nothing that Necko exposes,
and because by the definition normally used in Gecko (it's an absolute URL if
you can parse it as a url even if there is no base) this url is absolute.
See also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580234 which is what
prompted me to read this section to start with.
