ns3 - relative URIs

I remember this discussion defering to the referenced RFCs. I don't
care for allowing relative URIs, because I think relative URIs are all
messed up so I remember this conversation clearly. Dan assured us that
the new RFC was better and we agreed that namespaces should not interfer
with the development of other web spec.

Options:

1) accept it
2) start a new WG and edtorial team.

are there more options? That is, is there an option that is not substantive
change from the 0802 draft?
