Oh, that's why I couldn't read your article with my Atom aggregator..;-)

I think there is a risk of using relatibve URI's *without providing
 a base url in the feed*.

what if you use some online aggregator services, such as Blogline.com?
what if you wanted to transform atom into html using XSLT [1] locally?
what if the feed was to be served via RSS/Atom search engines?

I tested on several aggregators, and sadly they failed to point to the 
right address.
