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#") -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@m...
