[Bug 3485] [XQuery] relative URILiteral

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3485





------- Comment #5 from davidc@nag.co.uk  2006-09-12 23:22 -------
I'm happy with the resolution that syntactically a relative uri literal
should not be an error, but your message doesn't say what the non error
meaning should be,  this isn't clear in all cases.

As noted in comment 0, the behaviour of relative collation URI are already
specified (resolve against the base uri in the static context)

This should also probably be the behaviour in other cases (eg module and schema
import) However in namespace declarations relative URI should probably still be
an error (although you may want to make it just optional that the error is
reported which is probably the original reason for the current text in 2.4.5)
w3c policy being that relative namespace uri are evil and specs should not
assign meaning to them)

specifying a relative base uri (using the prolog declaration or xml:base) is
another tricky case that has its own entry, bug #3486
