So far as I can tell, RFC 3986 §4.4 says the handling of short same-document references (e.g. #SectionOne) is formally defined in §5.2.2. But §D.2 says: As Julian said, the "about" scheme has no choice in the matter. Relative references exist. RFC 3986 defines how to turn a relative reference into an absolute reference, regardless of scheme. You don't need to do or say anything about relative references in a scheme specification other than to refer to RFC 3986. ....Roy
