FWIW, and AFAIU, the only real confusion mentioned in your report was about mixing up "embedding a URI (reference)" with "embedding a resource" (which has nothing to do with redirects at all). Also, can you point out any language in existing specs that makes it sound as if the base URI is not the request URI of the final request after redirects? Best regards, Julian
