[NEW ISSUE] implementation.spring @location attribute does not state theform which its URI value can take

Target:  sca-springci-1.1-spec-WD06.doc

Description:

The implementation.spring element is
described in Section 4 and contains a series of normative statements relating
to the @location attribute

and what  its value addresses.

However, one thing that is not stated
here (or anywhere else in the spec, as far as I can see) is what form the
URI value of @location takes.

For example, is it relative - in which
case, what is it relative to?  Can it be absolute?

The spec should state this.

Proposal:

Add the following following line 613
(the description of the @location attribute, before any of the existing
normative statements):

The location URI can either be an absolute
URI or it can be a relative URI.  In
the case where the location URI is a relative URI, 

the URI MUST be taken as being
relative to the base of the contribution which contains the composite containing
the

<implementation.spring/>
element. [SPR40009]
