As long as you use absolute URIs to load resources the relative URIs in
their contents will be resolved relative to that URI.

Yes, you can always create a logical workspace-like mapping so that the
same URIs you used to load/save the resources from/to the workspace work
stand alone.

How so?

Note that the platform scheme has a real live registered
java.net.URLStreamHandler as defined by the Eclipse platform.

No, it's platform:/resource. It would have been more sensible for
"resource" to be the authority rather than the first segment, but
unfortunately that's not the case.

It's up to the application to decide what's meaningful. If one maps (in
the URI map) platform:/resource/<foo>/ to file:/C:/folder/project/ them
most certainly it's meaningful.

It's just a convenience for specifying a URI map, e.g., mapping <foo> to
file:/C:/folder/project/

The URI converter is generally working with URIs of resources and these
generally should not be relative URIs. So the use case is
questionable. Also, given it's UML, UML makes heavy use of "pathmaps"
so best to look into UML2's documentation.

Yes it certainly tried to find an absolute interpretation but best to
avoid that entirely.

No, the whole use case is questionable. Better to use something like a
logical absolute URI, i.e., like UML2's pathmaps.

Because the whole use case is questionable and doesn't arise if you
follow the simple rule: use absolute URIs for all resources.
