There definitely appears to be a discrepancy between the CT and the spec
wording in section 105.7.1, Table 105.1. The CT assumes the base URL is the
bundle's root directory. The solution should be carefully considered since
choosing the literal interpretation and changing the CT will break at least
some existing implementations.
