Literal slashes in javascript: IRIs

The latter requirement seems impractical. Why is this requirement  
present? Could it be relaxed?

It doesn't seem particularly plausible that javascript: IRI would  
participate in a generic IRI/URI operation absolutizing a relative  
reference relative to a javascript: IRI. Letting a javascript: URI  
serve as the base URI of an HTML document seems non-sensical, for  
example, regardless of the presence of slashes.
