[spec] nitpicking

Hello,
I was re-reading the spec to clarify I doubt I had about relative vs
absolute URLs and where they're allowed, while I stumbled on this part:
> 2 Gemini Request
> [...]
> <URL> is a UTF-8 encoded absolute URL, including a scheme, of maximum length
> 1024 bytes.
>
> Sending an absolute URL instead of only a path or selector is effectively
> equivalent to building in a HTTP "Host" header. [...]
If I'm understanding correctly, the "instead of only a path or selector"
is redundant, since relative URLs aren't allowed. This is probably a
leftover from when the spec allowed both relative and absolute URLs in
the request, or I'm missing something?
Thanks,
Omar Polo
