After refreshing my memory on relative URL calculation, I now agree the example is right. Is there anyplace in the DAV specifications where we state what URL should be used as the base URL for relative URL calculation? I don't think this is in 2518 anyplace. Did this make it into 2518bis? - Jim > > Seems to me the href should hold a fully qualified URL, since other > > hrefs in the specification do this as well. > > It may hold whatever RFC2518 defines for DAV:href (we > probably should let the DTD fragment refer to RFC2518, > section 12.3, right?).
