OPC part names and referenes

[Chris Rae]

I have a feeling that some of the sticking points we discovered with regard to relative references were related to XPS, but I can't remember exactly what the details were. I'll do some investigation.

We'll have to tread somewhat carefully here, as OPC is the most widely implemented part of ISO/IEC 29500.

I did some more experiments using MS Office 2007 and .Net.

Here is my understanding.

- MS Office 2007 converts %HH to characters at
  least when %HH represents ASCII characters.

- MS Office 2007 resolves absolute-path references (
  which begins with "/") correctly.

- MS Office 2007 resolves relative-path references (
  which does not begin with "/") correctly.

- .Net (Package.GetPart) recognizes neither relative-path
  references nor %HH

I think that we should limit our concern to MS Office.  The .Net implementation of OPC does not implement Annex A of Part 2 at all.
