Your comment on 4.2.3.2 Indication of Intended Presentation Media Type of
Representation:

Working Group Resolution (LC-2009):
We agree and have reworded this section (now to be found in Appendix
H.1.4.2) substantially based on your comment. We now refer to the
"Same-Document Reference" definition in RFC3986.

The updated text is available at:
