I am not unhappy with A.

My weak pref for B is based on the dummy URI being arbitrary and hence 
potentially confusing for someone who asks, "where does that URI come from?"

Admittedly option B may be confusing for someone who says "but the 
validator permits relative URIs".

Given A is implemented let's go with that.
