Dera Patrick, Dear David , dearest all: Nowadays, there is an agreement this may become an sterile debate, if the issue is that there is no time to invest, neither and agreement on what should be done.
I propose, if there is any interest on the matter we are arguing, to open a branch, and those of us who have the will, who see the need, and dispose of some spare time to invest in a possible solution ( to be presented in a future as an enhancement or a recommendation), put our hands to work. Count me in, _if there is a small group of devoted volunteers who want to extend or put his hands dirt as an __exercise,_ for file and ftp URLs [6 [6]] in the fetch spec featured in WHATWG. Sundays I'm on.

"Appeal to authority" is a logical fallacy. An authoritative source doesn't make an argument true. I disagree with the idea that HTML files on offline media or a closed intranet are part of the "world wide web".
