I assume the file at that point is in some tomcat temp directory and
expanded into a directory with a list of files. Changing the AIP on the
DSpace side is either changing java code and rebuilding, or transforming
the packages after they have been generated.
My point is that the logic of xlink is that like its html conterparts, an
IRI/URL may be a path relative to the document. In such cases, it really
should not matter "where" the document resides.
.../mypackage/mets.xml
.../mypackage/bitstream_613090.jpeg
http://host/mypackage/mets.xml
http://host/mypackage/bitstream_613090.jpeg
zip:file://./mypackage.zip!/bitstream_613090.jpeg
These are all valid IRI/URL
Maybe I'm just arguing semantics here, but the specified behavior for LOCTYPE
= URL shouldn't force users to only be able to use a subset of
XLINK/IRI/URL possibilities in METS. In fact, for proper portability,
relative linking is a necessity. This seems a bug in the Fedora METS
import code.

If its inside html, METS or some other xml, the definition applies that the
applicatin should interpret relative xlinks as relative to the document,
regardless of the protocol (file, http, ftp, ...)
