Re: New Version Notification for draft-nottingham-http-link-header-03

That's true, but it's an example, not a specification; furthermore,  
the head section is shown complete (i.e., there is a close tag)  
without a base element...

It's important to differentiate between relative references in the  
relation type (e..g, rel) and the target URI. The text about not using  
in-document base URIs only applies to the relation type, not the  
target URI.

Cheers,
