Confirmed errors:



[165]  Entire section 6.2.2.2;
As near as I can tell, no browser I can find supports changing scheme on a relative
URL. In other words, if I am at

http://www.example.com/foo/bar.html

and I have an HREF to

ftp:maz/boo.html

My browsers, both IE and Firefox, interpret that as "ftp://maz/boo.html", looking for
a server maz. Your example for that entire section indicates it should be looking for
"ftp://www.example.com/foo/maz/boo.html

AUTHOR: This is worth posting, but the book is technically correct.  The browsers seem to have 
implemented this incorrectly, as far as my reading of the spec goes.


(393)  Example in middle of page;
In the line:
  <frame src="frame6.html" id="test">
replace the printer's quotes around "test" with straight quotes.
