Hey, it's find if you can come up with some *other* case why we should care about RFC 1738. I certainly didn't mean to bring up browsers as the _only_ case of possible interoperability issues, but when it comes to URL's it's certainly the obvious one... So the only argument really is: - Nobody has pointed to *any* reason to follow 1738. - I have pointed to reasons *not* to do it. So if you want to follow the RFC, you'd better give a real reason. And no, the existence of an RFC, and the fact that people use the same name for things that superficially _look_ the same is not a reason in itself. So hands up, people. Anybody who asked for RFC quoting. Give a damn *reason* already!
