Typo in Trackbacks?

Post by freddignazio »

Under "Trackbacks" it says "Trackback specific URI for this entry." Shouldn't it be "URL" instead of "URI?" I don't know. Just trying to help. :)

Both, URL and URI, stand for the same.
From Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms (Version 1.9, June 2002) [vera]:

URI
Universal Resource Identifier (WWW, RFC 1630)

From Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms (Version 1.9, June 2002) [vera]:

URL
Uniform Resource Locator (WWW, RFC 1738)
So, I don't think it's a bug. ;)

Actually there is a slight difference in terminology:

An URL usually does not contain parameters like "?serendipity" or "&serendipity", but an URI does.
