jQuery.support.hrefNormalized means the opposite of what its name implies

[ryan@…]

According to the docs (and verified by taking a quick look at the source), jQuery.support.hrefNormalized will be true if hrefs are *not* normalized, and false if they are.

This is the opposite of what the name implies, which is confusing.

See ​http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.support/ and ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/support.js#L56

In general, the feature detects are set so they are false for browser that are a pain in the butt. So by that measure it's got the right value, perhaps it has the wrong name.

We have contemplated taking the entire jQuery.support object to deprecation land because we do not want to support specific properties as an external interface if we do not need them. Were you just observing that it seemed backwards, or are you planning to use it?

I don't have plans to use it; just happened to notice the confusing name. I agree that changing the name would be a reasonable solution, although "hrefNotNormalized" is a little unwieldy. Maybe someone has a better suggestion.
