Kangaroo is stating that the behavior currently seen in Chatzilla should
be used in XChat. To that extent, the report was placed in the correct
location.

However, as I stated to the user in #xchat, I believe that this
implementation would lead to potential exploits, and so I am opposed to
the inclusion of this behavior. (Links that could easily cause users to
perform commands that they are not expecting)

Upon investigating the issue further, and in continuation with some
statements made, what has been proposed isn't a standard, isn't close to
a standard, and is currently in draft stage, and has not made any
progress in 7 years from a draft stage. As such, this isn't a "bug" so
much as not implementing a feature that Chatzilla has, and is the only
client I am currently aware of that does.

Due to potential exploit behavior, I am opposed to inclusion in XChat's
source, but even if it were, the only real way this would get
implemented is if Kangarooo were to create this patch, but even then, it
is not a for sure thing. Again, I believe this has potential exploit
usage.
