Web Bluetooth moved to the WHATWG, so the "Web Bluetooth" entry in the External specifications appendix now points at https://bluetooth.spec.whatwg.org/#automated-testing.
The old
webbluetoothcg.github.ioURL still returns 200, but the body is only an inline script that rewriteswindow.location. It resolves in a browser and breaks for link checkers and anything else that doesn't run JS. The#automated-testinganchor exists on the new URL.Note that specref's
web-bluetoothentry has not been updated and still carries the old href, so any spec using[[web-bluetooth]]is still affected. This appendix hardcodes its links, so it isn't.
