There are two cases here: 1. Relative URLs in a context that has a base URL (inside a resource loaded from a URL, or in an (X)HTML document that includes a <base> element). 2. Abreviated URLs in a user interface that implies no context with a base URL (like the browser's address bar). I'd suggest that these are completely different. urlsplit and urlparse support 1. If we want the second, that should be a separate function. It would be reasonable to add that to the urlparse module (urllib.parse in Python 3). -Fred -- Fred L.
