I believe the answer is: this section doesn't help you for all these 
questions.

(a) You can use the one determined by these rules, but C-L may provide a 
more specific one.

(b) Not entirely sure what you mean here.

(c) We have removed the base-setting semantics from C-L 
(<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/154>), so it's the 
URI as determined by the rules in 6.1.

(d) The same URI in general (do we imply otherwise somewhere)?
