Re: Relative references and whether requires an authority

That seems like the best path.  Since we now believe we want to use  
these in Destination and If header, as well as <href>, I'll define  
that once in the document.  I am not sure a term like "reference" is  
the best term as it's so general, so here's another couple suggestions
    simple-ref
    dav-reference

preferences, anybody?
