No, I have no power over time and that is the only way to change
conversational use.  There is such a thing as "Relative URIs".
They are those things that you put into relative URI references
when you don't use a URI.

There is no reason for the specification to change just to satisfy
one side of a pedantic argument that has nothing whatsoever to do
with the protocol being defined.  The only thing that matters is
that Relative URI is a noun with a defined meaning, because that
noun is associated with an ABNF rule that defines its syntax.
