2.5. Extensions to existing attributes

Under 'maxlength': "Valid URIs and e-mail addresses in particular can
often be surprisingly long."

I guess that should be IRI since it refers to the value |type="uri"| can
have.


2.12. The datalist element and the list attribute

It could be that the UA has listed some IRIs as well though I may be
nitpicking here.


2.16. Extensions to the form element

Not sure about this. If it is an empty string, should it really be
relative to the base URI? I can remember a discussion in Bugzilla about
same-document references where there still isn't a conclusion about
this. (Among other things with regard to this.)

Or does this update the RFC in question?


6.1. Filling select elements

Why URI or IRI? IRI covers both. Same for other sections where this is
used. (See for another example 6.2.)


A. XHTML module definition

A lot of attribute can only contain URIs where it would make sense to
allow IRIs.

I was wondering why you were pointing to RFC1738 as well as pointing to
RFC3986. However, as you explained on IRC RFC3986 only updates the
specification it does not obsolete it.
