Our original intent was to use the algorithm described in Section 5.1
"Establishing a Base URI" of RFC 2376 ("Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI):
Generic Syntax") <http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/rfc2396.txt>. In
particular, the language in Section 5.1.3, "Base URI from the Retrieval URI"
applies most to WebDAV.
Or, in short, I agree with your interpretation. :-)
