Comment:
We should definitely fix it and use the phrase "absolute path reference"
(possibly abbreviated to "absolute path" after frequent use). That is the
term used in RFC 2396, which is the URI spec. The current Django usage has
always annoyed me and is almost certainly due to a misunderstanding when
the docs were originally written. It's wrong currently; let's fix it.
By the way, we can't use the 'i.e.' phrasing of the current docs after the
terms "relative URL" since it's not an "i.e.", it's an "e.g." and that
isn't correct in those contexts either.
