Section 4.1 says:
info-URI = info-scheme ":" info-identifier [ "#" fragment ]
It should say:
info-URI = info-scheme ":" info-identifier [ "#" Absolute]
Notes:
In practice, it is possible to generate a URI reference to a relative path of a web service. But in many cases, problems exist in resolving names and reverse name resolution.
Problems exist in the journal/truncated information of the relative URL (e.g., thomas-signe.co).
Good practice/compliance is to use the absolute path and correct reference in the Root Domain and reverse lookup.
