acronym URL expands
to "Uniform Resource *<b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Locator</span></b>*”.
The string “print:#” does not match this spec: it is not a locator,
it is a processing instruction. BTW, the full form of the local URL
“#” can be viewed as “html:#” (whether it is allowed by
the URL standard or not) which means that you need a URL to access the
resource
you want to print; prefixing it with “print:” would result in a
double URL scheme, which is unacceptable. Therefore it is better to
use a
special target, if any.</span></font></p>

Would href="print://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/" have
been better then?<br>

Well, you can of course link to a specified id within a document
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#media12">http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#media12</a>). Isn't
that a fragment, as in CSS (#media12 { })?<br>

the details like paper sort, size, texture and stationery,

is
harmful to the environment and should be deprecated and not
recommended, except
for the cases were a written signature is needed, which is hopefully

These are essential for printing and should be handled the way it is
handled now: through a print prompt. In a <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="mailto:-link">mailto:-link</a> you don't
provide from which address to send it from, HTML-mail, plain text or
both either.<br>
<br>
My request was for a way to have in-page print links that don't require
client-side scripting, an HTML-alternative to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="javascript:print()">javascript:print()</a>;<br>
<br>
I don't agree with you that printing is an obsolete practice. Not yet
at least, as people not all have mobile access to the internet or in
cases like the example you came up with yourself.<br>
