4.2. Same-document References

[Benoit Bezaire <benoit@itedo.com>]

Hi cgmo-webcgm,

I was told where to look for the Same-document references, from
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt, we get:

4.2. Same-document References

  A URI reference that does not contain a URI is a reference to the
  current document.  In other words, an empty URI reference within a
  document is interpreted as a reference to the start of that
  document, and a reference containing only a fragment identifier is a
  reference to the identified fragment of that document.  Traversal of
  such a reference should not result in an additional retrieval
  action. However, if the URI reference occurs in a context that is
  always intended to result in a new request, as in the case of HTML's
  FORM element, then an empty URI reference represents the base URI of
  the current document and should be replaced by that URI when
  transformed into a request. 

So WebCGM 1.0 and 2.0 user agents should not reload same-document
resources.
