[Nfd-dev] How to treat ".." in an NDN URI?

The TLV specification for the NDN URI scheme says "To unambiguously represent name components that would collide with the use of . and .. for relative URIs, any component that consists solely of one or more periods is encoded using three additional periods.".
http://named-data.net/doc/ndn-tlv/name.html#ndn-uri-scheme
If an NDN URI uses the "relative" value of "..", how should the URI be decoded. Specifically, should it be treated as "up one level" like in a Unix path? For example, should the URI "/a/b/../c" be decoded as the name "/a/c"?
(This question comes from an issue on the ndn-js Redmine: http://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1818 ).
Thanks,
