A single Location-Path Option is a (percent-decoded) segment of the URI offered as the Location.
The name of the option is a bit historical (but Location-Path-Segment or Uri-Path-Segment are a bit long).

When talking about the value of the sequence of options, it is a bit more intuitive to instead talk about the implied URI.  Notated in a HTTP header style:

Location: /foo/bar

is a short form of »two Location-Path options "foo" and "bar"«.

Yes, we need to get consistent here -- either use that notation and explain it or use the actual option values.  I still like to talk about /.well-known/core etc. instead of saying [{"Location-Path": ".well-known"}, {"Location-Path": "core"}] (or, worse, "\x6B.well-known\x04core").
