OVF export standard violation: URI in HostResource

Description
One of the reasons the OVF / OVA files generated by VirtualBox won't be picked up easily is this violation of the standard; a disk will be output like
<Item>
<rasd:AddressOnParent>0</rasd:AddressOnParent> <rasd:Caption>disk1</rasd:Caption> <rasd:Description>Disk Image</rasd:Description> <rasd:ElementName>disk1</rasd:ElementName> <rasd:HostResource>/disk/vmdisk1</rasd:HostResource> <rasd:InstanceID>12</rasd:InstanceID> <rasd:Parent>5</rasd:Parent> <rasd:ResourceType>17</rasd:ResourceType>
</Item>
According to the specs @ http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/cim-html/2.39.0+/CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData.html, "the HostResource property shall be formated as a URI per RFC3986".
So, (at least according to VMware, I'm not that well-versed in the standard), the line should read
<rasd:HostResource>ovf:/disk/vmdisk1</rasd:HostResource>

Please reopen if still an issue with a supported VirtualBox release.
Found it in Table 3 of the OVF spec: http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0243_1.0.0.pdf http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0243_2.1.0.pdf
