Throughout the document, when it says:
The "data" URL scheme
It should say:
The "data" URI scheme
Notes:
The text refers to "URL" throughout, but to be correct, these are actually URIs.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
"URI"s are first documented in RFC 2396, which was developed at the same time as RFC 2397. At the time the document that became 2397 was approved, "URL" was the correct term. While it's correct that "URI" is the preferred term now, "URL" is also correct, and is the term that was in use when this document was written. This is not an error in the document.
