Description Maciej Stachowiak 2014-01-31 14:41:35 PST

The origin attribute returns null instead of empty on on invalid URL. The URL spec says to return empty.

This only applies to the <a> and <area> elements I think (not sure how to construct a URL or Location from a string that cannot be parsed as a URL), but it's still applicable and is probably not difficult to fix:
