draft-nottingham-http-link-header-01.txt - problem with default relationship base URI

Re http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-nottingham-http-link-header-01.txt :

Relationship values are URIs that identify the type of link.  If the
    relationship is a relative URI, its base URI MUST be considered  
to be
    "http://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations.html#", and the  
value
    MUST be present in the link relation registry.

My understanding of the way that a relative URI gets combined with a  
base URI (RFC 2396 section 5.2) is that if you combine the above base  
URI with "next" you get

http://www.iana.org/assignments/next

not

http://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations.html#next

and I think you intend the latter, not the former.

Also, you might consider the possibility that the relations are  
backed by RDF/XML instead of or in addition to HTML. This is a detail  
but it could make a difference to RDF-aware applications. I don't  
know enough about IANA's taste to know whether this is feasible.
