There is an example already in the spec, the first one. I have added another (reverse) example at http://www.w3.org/2004/04/uri-rel-test.html. See test cases 1 and 81. Please propose any other test cases that you think are of interest. If you want me to set up a file that actually contains a colon, that's easy to do (except on a Mac, where the colon is the directory separator). Regards, Martin.
