Is there a normative definition available for "relative URI"? It seems that it was defined in RFC 2396, which is explicitly obsoleted by RFC 3986. It would seem preferrable to go with the term "relative reference to a URI" as defined in RFC 3986. "Relative URI" may be better-known, but seems to be officially obosolete in current specs. xml:base, for example, uses "relative uri" as defined by 2396. HTML 4 provides its own definition of the term. Webb -- Webb Roberts (webb.roberts@gtri.gatech.edu) Research Scientist, Georgia Tech Research Institute Atlanta, GA (404)407-6181
