I think that the result of URI::URL::rel is correct.

If I use the rel function, I do so because I want to
move a whole tree or to copy it e.g. onto a CD. You
can't use /xxx/yyy/zzz/ww.html notation there, but
../../../xxx/yyy/zzz/ww.html will work regardless of
the path (or directory) to which the tree is moved.
