At 07:47p +0100 06/01/2004, Mark Butcher didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
Just to point out that 'open location' works with emails as well as URLs:
open location "mailto:email@hidden";
Two things:
1. A "mailto" *is* a URL, and
2. You just proved my point about a URL not being a location :-)
email address: email@hidden
mailto URL:
mailto:email@hidden
web address: www.bar.com
HTTP URL:
http://www.bar.com/
To learn more about URLs, see RFC 2396 and its related/superseded RFCs.

(Gnarlie, you look there too.;)

Clearly Apple made a huge mistake in nomenclature. A URL is not a location.
Trying to dumb down a perfectly valid acronym only results in confusion.
