The wording of the value of href for base elements [1] is not quite the same as the wording for anchor elements [2], and technically [3] that wording allows only absolute URIs. They should probably both say they allow URI references (or IRI references), and the former should probably say "be" or "equal" rather than the rather vague "contain". (I suspect there are similar problems elsewhere.)
Or, if you don't like using the term "URI reference" everywhere (which may be worth avoiding), you should at least explain your usage in the Terminology section with reference to terms defined in the URI/IRI RFCs. -David [1] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#href [2] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#href5 [3] ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3986.txt ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3987.txt -- L.
