Hi Carsten,

I thought I'd jump in with my 2 pennies:

http:foo.html is a bad habit because (just perhaps) the HTML file  
isn't accessed by http, and then the internal links break.  So if the  
generated HTML documents are stored locally (I fantasize that someday  
my PSP will be able to do this) and accessed using a file:// link, the  
HTML spec requires the browser to ditch the protocol and use the  
specified one, which won't work if my PSP is offline.
