It appears that the biggest reason for the itemized list  is to
convert "\a.xml" to "/a.xml" automatically.   We have to do
that conversion.

I think that this conversion should be done as part of
the semantics of the pack scheme, rather than
by the resolution of relative references.

But wait!  Are "/a.xml" and "\a.xml" equivalent?
If so, equivalent as part names or equivalent as
relative references (in that case, is "/./a.xml"
also equivalent?).
