[spec] nitpicking

Hello,

I was re-reading the spec to clarify I doubt I had about relative vsabsolute URLs and where they're allowed, while I stumbled on this part:

2 Gemini Request
[...]
<URL> is a UTF-8 encoded absolute URL, including a scheme, of maximum length
1024 bytes.
Sending an absolute URL instead of only a path or selector is effectively
equivalent to building in a HTTP "Host" header. [...]

If I'm understanding correctly, the "instead of only a path or selector"is redundant, since relative URLs aren't allowed. This is probably aleftover from when the spec allowed both relative and absolute URLs inthe request, or I'm missing something?

Thanks,

Omar Polo
