questions

normalizing u-* property values

Q: In the Parsing u-* section, shouldn't item 5 (if there is a gotten value…) be at the end of the section? Shouldn't normalizing apply wherever the value comes from? (question from IRC, 2012-296).

A: Normalizing u-* property values occurs exactly where necessary and no more. In particular, normalizing only when present in URL attributes follows the semantics of those attributes (normalization to absolute URLs) per the HTML5 specification, whereas when the value is present in a title attribute or in text, the expectation, in both normal usage and in the browser, is that such values are displayed and used as is without any normalization.
