It shouldn't - xpath requires the URI to be expanded. This proposal says
that you might not have to expand - it depends on the context you are in
and what you use the URIs for.

They are clearly not the same - the two starting documents have
different contexts and relative links should therefore not be evaluated
without taking their different contexts into account. This was the
reason for the requirement stated in the proposal:
