Section 5.2.3 says:
o If the base URI has a defined authority component and an empty path, then return a string consisting of "/" concatenated with the reference's path; otherwise,
It should say:
o If the base URI has a defined authority component and an empty path, or if the base URI's path is ending with "/..", then return a string consisting of base's path concatenated with "/" and then concatenated with the reference's path; otherwise,
Notes:
this is about case when reference does not have scheme and authority and its path is not starting with "/".
