Background

attr(foo url) needs to return a value when the foo attribute does not exist. Right now that value is a UA-dependent invalid URL.

Problem Statement

What URL should be returned as the always-invalid UA-dependent URL?

Proposal(s)

Proposed to return about:invalid, which is an invalid URL.
