Handling of relative URIs in option values

Hi all,

There a number of steps that contain options that represents a URI:

p:directory-list
p:load
p:make-absolute-uris
P:store
p:xslt
p:xsl-formatter

For each of these steps (except for p:store, see below) the spec says:

"If [URI] is relative, it is made absolute against the base URI of the
element on which it is specified (p:option or [STEP] in the case of a
syntactic shortcut value)."

I think it should read:

"If [URI] is relative, it is made absolute against the base URI of the
element on which it is specified (p:with-option or [STEP] in the case of
a syntactic shortcut value)." + probably something that says that if the
option is not specified, the base URI of the step is used.

Or do I get something wrong?

-

The prose for p:store is different because p:store behaves a bit
differently if the 'href' option is not specified, but I still think the
text should contain the same sentence about relative URIs as in the case
of the other steps. Otherwise it is not clear what to do with relative
URIs in p:store.
