Afternoon all

Standard practice at the beeb has always been to use link urls relative to
the root:
href="/radio4/today"

Clearly these are of little use in a microformat (or any attempt to use html
as an api)

So my question is - are there any problems we should be aware of in
switching to full path urls? One or 2 developers have mentioned the
possibility of creating unnecessary connections but no-one seems sure

I've googled around but all the absolute/relative url discussions are web
tutorials from 1995 so thought u might be a good port of call...

The reason that there has been little discussion is that the rules for
dealing with this are well understood and settled. This document [1]
will give you everything you need -- written in 1995.

Regards, etc...
