User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0
Steps to reproduce:
Creating a hyperlink using a CURIE syntax, like: <a href="[enwiki:Bugzilla]">Bugzilla</a>, and a predefined QName like <html xmlns:enwiki="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/">
I attached a file as a example.
Actual results:
When using Safe CURIEs: the link behaves as a relative link.
When using CURIEs: following the link displays "the address wasn’t understood"
Expected results:
In both cases, the CURIE must be mapped to an URL, according to https://www.w3.org/TR/2010/NOTE-curie-20101216/

We don't implement the XHTML2 family of specifications that CURIE is part of. The spec we are tracking for HTML and XHTML is https://html.spec.whatwg.org/
Note that the "Status of This Document" section of https://www.w3.org/TR/2010/NOTE-curie-20101216/ says, in part:
This document is a Working Group Note. The XHTML2 Working Group's charter expired before it could complete work on this document.
and
Publication as a Working Group Note does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership.
The W3C Process document says:
A Working Group Note or Interest Group Note is published by a chartered Working Group or Interest Group to provide a stable reference for a useful document that is not intended to be a formal standard, or to document work that was abandoned without producing a Recommendation.
In this case, "to document work that was abandoned without producing a Recommendation" part applies.
