Anchor doesn't implement URL decomposition IDL attributes
Reported by fiann | August 23rd, 2010 @ 03:00 AM
Anchor elements (A, AREA) should implement the same interface as
Location - setting the href attribute should allow you
to read host, port, pathname
etc.
This is listed in the HTML 5 spec.
Currently, anchor.getAttribute('href') correctly
returns the text of the attribute as it appears in the HTML, which
could be a relative URL. a.href gives the fully
qualified URL which has been parsed relative to the current page.
But it doesn't expose the URL components.
