I would strongly support this interpretation. It's the natural one from
HTML browsers and it is what I have implemented in XLL in JUMBO. I have
found that the best way forward for me is that every WF fragment possesses
a URL, since it may further reference other fragments. This works OK for me
as far as I have got, but I am not a URL specialist. I don't know what
happens when we get XML which is formed 'in vacuo' - e.g. as part of a
serialized object, typed in on the command line, etc. :-)
