Yes!  The fact that two apparently distinct absolute URIs (e.g.
"http://one.example.com/foo" and "http://two.example.com/foo") refer to the same
thing is a very different problem from the fact that apparently identical
relative URI references (e.g. "foo" in doc1 and "foo" in doc2) refer to
different things.

Nothing but confusion is gained by mixing up these issues.
