Oh ok. But if you consider the base URL being http://a/, you clearly
match this case. I admit we are not doing relative anyhow, but I don't
think absolute and relative are supposed to have different behaviour in
such a case.

And it seems that 5.2.4 clearly explains the algo in our (absolute) case,
don't you think?
