Sorry, I don't buy this. You're wrong, but the rationale is important. :) What are we going to do, outlaw strings that happen to look like relative references? If you want a generic processor to handle your extension, you've got atom:link, which will work fine. Maybe you want the relative reference to point at something relative, no matter where it ends up. I can't think of why anyone would want to do that, but maybe they will. Relative references are fragile, and people understand why they break. None of the other pros for this capability are affected.
