 those clear before continuing to argue.

 absolute URI
             a URI in absolute form; for example, as per [URL]
 base URI
             an absolute URI used in combination with a relative URI
             to determine another absolute URI.
 URI
             A Uniform Resource Identifier is a formatted string that
             serves as an identifier for a resource, typically on the
             Internet. URIs are used in HTML to identify the anchors
             of hyperlinks. URIs in common practice include Uniform
             Resource Locators (URLs)[URL] and Relative URLs
             [RELURL].
