codebase can be an absolute url and not only a relative one

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
"PARAM element codebase" is described as follows:

Specifies the base URL of the applet. The URL should be relative to the document URL. This PARAM element is required only if the applet is not located in the same directory as the document.

This is wrong. The codebase URL can be relative to the document URL or absolute, and not only relative as the statement implies. In other words code for the applet can come from a different server then the document in which applet executes.
