Richard: That is fine.  Originally I was going to state that we adopt
absolute URIs, but I must admit that this was driven by expediency
of us adopting *a* position instead of greeting the issue with silence
on the list.

Wendy has outlined the pros and cons of absolute versus relative URIs,
and yes it is a bit of pain to handle relative URIs,  But as long as we
have a position well spelled out in the document, adhering to it is a
matter of minor implementation complexity.  Let's go for what you
suggest above.

Thanks,
