Should
    .;param=value/foo.html
then resolve to
    http://localhost/dir;im_ignoring=this/subdir;and=this/.;param=value/foo.html
or
    http://localhost/dir;im_ignoring=this/subdir;param=value/foo.html
for example?  The RFC is sadly a bit vague on this point.  (The
example algorithm makes no mention of parameters, and none of the
examples in the appendix address this point.)
