One question for the case described in bullet d. :
d. If both baseURI and primaryAlias are present, combine baseURI with
primaryAlias and relative URI to get absolute URI

Question:When both baseURI and primaryAlias are present, is it allowed for the
primaryAlias to be an absolute URI ? I would incline to say yes; in which case,
bullet d should be updated to cover this scenario :

d. If both baseURI and primaryAlias are present
   i. if primaryAlias is a relative URI then combine baseURI with
primaryAlias and relative URI to get absolute URI
   ii. otherwise ignore the baseURI and use only the primaryAlias to create the
absolute URI for a relative URI
