A URL is a kind of URI. Normally we talk about URIs in WebDAV, because the use isn't restricted. However, there is a controversy around the use of relative links with URIs that aren't URLs. So, when talking about relative links, I slip into using "URL" instead of "URI". For the purposes of WebDAV, the two terms are interchangable.
