[Python-Dev] PEP 328: import...as with relative import

There's been some discussion on c.l.py about whether the
new relative import system should allow things like

  import ..abc as def

It seems the PEP currently disallows this, but nobody
seems to be able to adequately explain why. Is there
any technical reason it couldn't be done?
