  Hum, absolute means non-relative ? If yes then the simple fact that there
is a scheme after parsing the URI-Reference implies it is not relative I
think.
  Maybe the right patch it to parse the URI with xmlParseURI and check if
a scheme was found, if yes then it should be absolute. But I don't know the
c14n spec and maybe I misunderstood the actual requirement.

  If you can confirm the problem and the solution, I could make the fix
I guess.
  Enjoy your vacations :-)
