In general URIs can be relative as well as absolute. So if an ALTO
server's resource directory has the URI
"http://alto.example.com/directory";, directory entries like
{ "uri" : "/networkmap", ....}
or
{ "uri" : "costmap/num/routingcost", ...}
should be legal and should resolve to "http://alto.example.com/networkmap";
and "http://alto.example.com/costmap/num/routingcost";, respectively.
However, our examples only use absolute URIs. As far as I can tell, draft
13 doesn't say anything about relative URIs.
So I think we should either explicitly allow relative URIs -- and use them
in examples in the RFC and in the next interop -- or else forbid them.
That would affect Sections 6.7.2 & 6.7.3.
