This is actually not about relative paths, but actual URI resolution.
If you look at the JUnit test case I committed earlier [1] I use the URIResolver
to resolve an URI "funky:myimage123" to one of the bgimg bitmaps in our
test directory (a file URL). That's how people can specify abstract URIs
instead of concrete URLs to point to resources whose location is not
known at deployment time. And it's where XML Commons Resolver jumps in
to provide a widely used mapping from URIs to URLs.

I'd actually simply call it "resolveURI(String)" and return a Source,
similar to the resolve() method in URIResolver. Source and its
implementations provide all the different access variant for getting at
sources. ATM, it suffices to support arbitrary sources which simply
return a SystemID (which you can simply convert to a URL) and
StreamSource whose getInputStream() returns a non-null value which you
already implemented. DOMSource can wait till later and other stuff can
be added as needed. We simply need to support providing InputStreams
(done) and XML Commons URIResolver (open).
