It may hold whatever RFC2518 defines for DAV:href (we probably should 
let the DTD fragment refer to RFC2518, section 12.3, right?). RFC2518 
relies on RFC2068, section 3.2.1, which allows both absoluteURI and 
relativeURI.

I don't see the issue here. Lots of WebDAV servers return relativeURIs 
in DAV:href elements, and as far as I can tell, this is no problem at 
all. Please explain :-)
