Documenting Brian's verbal suggestion. We could ask the owners of the xml base rec for normative answers: i.e. a list of XML Base relativeURI ======== =========== EASY: "http://example.org/dir/file" "../relfile" "http://example.org/dir/file" "/absfile" "http://example.org/dir/file" "//another.example.org/absfile" GETTING HARDER: "http://example.org/dir/file" "../../../relfile" "http://example.org/dir/file" "" "http://example.org/dir/file" "#frag" MASTER CLASS: "http://example.org" "relfile" "http://example.org/dir/file#frag" "relfile" "http://example.org/dir/file#frag" "#foo" "http://example.org/dir/file#frag" "" "mailto:Jeremy_Carroll@hp.com" "#foo" "mailto:Jeremy_Carroll@hp.com" "" "mailto:Jeremy_Carroll@hp.com" "relfile" Any such set of answers (i.e. absolute URIs) would make our test cases redundant. The problem is, what if we don't like the answers for the same document references. 2nd problem is, what will they do? ask the authors of RFC2396? ask the tag? These test cases appeared because an ARP user complained that ARP screwed up on one of them (the missing slash one). When I dug into it, I realised I didn't know what the right answer was. So as a developer without such answers I have difficulty.
