Ooops, I broke backwards compatibility without even realizing it!

In my head, old 'include' stuff was writen as follows:
(notice the beginning slash...)

  <?include file="/includes/foo.xml"?> 

And not as:

  <?include file="includes/foo.xml"?>

Foolish foolish!


Basically this behavior IS intentional, it is so that you can use
relational path as well as absolute path...

I can see here two options:

a) Leave it as it is and break backwards compatibility

b) Change it so that any relative path MUST start with a dot, i.e.

  <xi:include href="./bits/foo.xml" />
  <xi:include href="../included_stuff/foo.xml" />


I prefer option b), I'd rather keep backwards compatibility if I can.
What do others think?
