No, in that case it's fragment identifiers that caused the working 
group to go with URI references rather than relative URIs. At the 
time, there was probably also some desire to use relative URIs, but 
that has since been deprecated. However, fragment IDs in namespace 
URIs are used in practice today, for instance in XML digital 
signatures (http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#) and RDF 
(http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#")
