This is news to me. Who is discouraging their use and why? A few references I found that caused me to make that statement: The Protocol-relative URL: "Update 2014.12.17: ... this technique is now an anti-pattern." for Wikipedia links: "protocol relative links should no longer be used on Wikipedia" Stop using protocol-relative URLs Mistakes: Protocol-Relative URLs	[reply]

Thanks for these references. The rationale in the Wikipedia and Nick Craver docs refer essentially to their internal policies for their own sites and make a good deal of sense. It does not seem from my reading of them that either is advocating a universal policy beyond that. Conversely the other 2 articles do advocate a universal policy. However, I find their arguments simplistic and therefore unconvincing. That said, it is still good to know that such points of view exist.	[reply]
