I've certainly needed them often enough; "write-only" properties
are a model that's best avoided.  (They push value coordination up
a level, where it's error prone; and errors can't easily be caught.)

I'd vote for requiring it to be absolute.  If relative URIs are allowed,
the base URI should be a read/write property, with a meaningful default.
