RFC 4452, "The "info" URI Scheme for Information Assets with Identifiers in Public Namespaces", April 2006

Source of RFC: IETF - NON WORKING GROUP
Area Assignment: app

Errata ID: 7674
Status: Reported
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT
Reported By: Fabian Cohen

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.
