That contradicts existing usage. For example, one often sees:
This module will search for a F<foo.conf> in your C<$ENV{PATH}>,
parse it, and write the parse tree as F<foo.out> in an temporary
directory as an intermediate cache.
Neither "foo.conf" nor "foo.out" is a URI in that paragraph. They are
not relative to the POD's current directory, and does not serve well as
anchors of anything.
So I'd prefer to keep the documented perlpodspec/perlpod interpretation.
