FWIW, window.open, history.replaceState et al, location.assign et al, showModalDialog, registerProtocolHandler et al, external.AddSearchProvider et al, EventSource, Worker, and document.load all use A. XMLHttpRequest uses either C or D (fixed at object construction time), I can't quite work out which based on step 1 of the constructor. APIs inside workers always use E, the worker script URL. URLs found in attributes on elements use F, the element's base URL. I can't find anyone who uses B, which surprises me. I guess that means you should use A, for consistency; in which case you'd want text like: _Resolve_ /url/ relative to the _API base URL_ specified by the _entry settings object_. You can find many examples of this in the HTML spec (http://whatwg.org/c), if you just need something to copy and paste.
