I think to make this usable, we'd want the 'name' attribute on <c:file> 
to contain an absolute URI (and I'd suggest renaming it to 'href').

We *could* use relative names, and put xml:base attributes on the 
wrapping <p:directory> elements, but that would just force users to use 
an absolutize-base-uris step to get something useful.

(BTW, we don't have AVTs in option values ;)
