After rereading the rfcs, I think you may be right.
RFC 1808 says:
An empty reference resolves to the complete base URL:
<> = <URL:http://a/b/c/d;p?q#f>
RFC 2396 says:
An empty reference refers to the start of the current document.
<> = (current document)
and that would be "http://www.foo.bar/path/file;param?query#";
or "http://www.foo.bar/path/file;param?query"; which are equivalent.
But after reading Miles comments I'm not sure sure on any of the
examples in RFC 2396 anymore.
