 \begin{nonnormative}
 The use of a trailing segment separator is recommended when the resource is a directory and the file-system path will be prepended to relative file paths within the directory.
+If possible, use URIs for specific files or specific sub-directories instead of appending relative paths to a generic URI such as \filename{modelica:/A/Resources/} as the latter creates a dependency on the entire directory.
 \end{nonnormative}
 
 For a Modelica-package stored as a single file, \filename{A.mo}, the resource \filename{modelica:/A/C.jpg} refers to a file \filename{C.jpg} stored in the same directory as \filename{A.mo}, but using resources in this variant is not recommended since multiple packages will share resources.
